It’s a LS7 or technically an LS7R (700hp / 620ft lbs). It was a tight fit with the headers but we managed to squeeze it between the frame rails with some creative exhaust routing. Believe it or not the 7 liter is actually lighter than the 2.25 L that I took out.

Should be enough power 😳 sounds great fun .seen these LS7 s in many a muscle car rebuild think they come in the new Corvette fuel injected ,looks like you have a D/P Holley ,good engine .The Aluminium block probably accounts for the lightness as compared with the 2.25.
