This is a backup motor for my street car (RX-7) and was freshly rebuilt by S&S Automotive in San Leandro, CA (Rick Santos NHRA guy) with zero miles on the setup. I've used this machine shop for 15 years and trust them exclusively with my needs.

The goods:
new alum 4.125" bore LS7 block
resleeved by R.E.D. (Steve Demirjin), billet main caps, ARP main studs over $5K total parts/machining
rebushed titanium LS7 rods, Katech A1 rod bolts, Autotec lightweight race pistons, Total seal Rings
Eagle 4.1" crank set up for wet sump factory style pump setup
Can be 11.5:1 compression (91) all the way up to 14:1 for e85/116 octane
depending upon head milling/head gasket choice
WCCH LS7 heads, cleaned up ports, Brian Tooley racing springs/titanium retainers, new guides, s/s exh valves, titanium intake valves, performance VJ
LS7 intake, LS7 fuel rail, LS9 injectors
hydraulic roller cam of your choice 550-650rwhp+ potential. Brian Tooley would spec the cam for you.
LS7 lifters, Brian Tooley pushrods
ARP head bolts, MLS gaskets, LS7 rocker arms, Melling oil pump, LS2 tchain
front/rear covers, valvecovers, coil packs
Doesn't include harmonic balancer, TB, or accessories/water pump or oil pan
Can be run dry sump with external dry sump system (ARE/Dailey billet etc)

Currently shortblock is at the machine shop awaiting assembly (has 24x reluctor wheel now... but can install 58x if you need it). The heads/intake etc are at my house and freshly done by WCCH with zero miles also.

I can install Morel 5206 link bar lifters for a more race oriented setup for additional cost. I would opt for a billet Katech tchain as the only real upgrade and rebuild the rocker arms with the Comp Cams trunion bearing rebuild kit (you pay the difference). If you buy the Comp Cams trunion kit I can install it for $100 labor. Factory rocker arms are extremely light and durable when rebuilt.

This would make for one bad ass street motor and equally nice track setup. Can take a 150hp nitrous shot if you wanted to spray it. I never did.
Currently setup for 11.5:1 compression (91 octane friendly).

FREE SHIPPING via Forward Air trucking and you pick up at the terminal. Use the upper blue map to find a terminal.

$10,200 Located in the SF Bay Area.

I'm going full speed ahead on my '69 Chevelle project and simply don't need this backup motor. I have put about 2K miles on my LS7 powered RX-7 making 580rwhp approx.... totally streetable as would this combo be depending upon cam choice.

bump to the top

It'll be assembled shortly with a 58x reluctor wheel (I was holding off to give the buyer the option of 24x vs. 58x).

I kind of want to buy this, but I can't find any good reason to, except to have a an engine sitting around waiting to go in something.

You can put it in my Camaro until you find something else. :mock:

I'd love to buy this but would have to trade you a watch and some firearms haha!
