LS7 in a 67 chevelle

[R67Chevelle]

Well it looks like I am going to go for different. I am going to go LS7 with Katech cam and programing. Will yield about 630hp and 590 Ft lbs. Sould run well...

The all Alunimum engine should reduce weight greatly and the different factor is there. I can't decide if I was T56 - TKO 600 or 200r4 and going out back with 3.73. Anyways heres where I need some help.

With the dry sump and pan clearance will this fit without modification of my frame? I know you can get oil pans for the wet sump LS based engines with the necessary clearance adjustments. Will the LS7 need modification or is there a company that has products for this procedure?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Going to start on thisend of April and trying to gather parts list together to plan for this whole build...

Blessings:lateral:

Sounds like a dream project for me !! Keep us posted how the engine build went with Katech and if you can please dyno the engine with all accesorys so the power could be really know for sure. Oh and dont forget the pics!!!!:cheers:

I beleive ATS has everything your going to need, I have only heard good things about their parts/people.

<-------------check em' out

The stock pan should work. ATS makes motor mounts that let you mount the original style mount to the LS7. Chevelles have front steering gear so there shouldn't be any interference with the pan. Not to say that you couldn't still switch it to a wet sump if you wanted to. sounds like another cool project. Keep us updated. I've had 2 67 Chevelles, definetely the best year IMO!

Hi!

Cool choice, I´ve been thinking of that engine too for my ´67.
Can you estimate the totalcost for everything?

Can you estimate the totalcost for everything?

Lets see, you'll need the motor (I'd assume a crate motor which doesn't include any accessories like PS pump or alternator), an ECM, harness, (possibly the fly by wire accelerator, depending on whether you go OEM ECM or aftermarket), dry sump tank, adapter motor mounts, LS7 specific headers... Add that all up, and you'll get an idea on total cost.

[R67Chevelle]

Expensive is definately the word... I am now actually looking at going to Turn Key engine Supply's crate with cam and ECM upgrade.

http://www.turnkeyenginesupply.com/street_70630.htm

I can get all accessories. ECM, starter and fly wheel. I just hope the stock pan on the LS7 will clear. Different is definately more expensive. Thanks for the advise for ATS looks like they will work.

I really wanted to do a 700hp motor, but I hope 630hp will get me into the high 10's and just plain haul butt. Thanks for all the advice. If anyone else has somemore feedback or suggestions, please advise.... Thanks Guys:bow:

Oh so its "TurnKey"....Just went to the site to check it out.

I tought it was a late Christmas special...;) :lol:

My Bad yes TurnKey:lol: :lol: :lol:

[R67Chevelle]

My Bad yes TurnKey:lol: :lol: :lol:


Hey since you have LS based packages, since I was looking at this direction what about a say 402 with blower cam and AFR heads, ken bell or whimple supercharger say about 750hp and about 700ft.lbs. turn key set up.

Can u guys do something like this?

Blessings

[Mizfit]

Absolutely...If you want to do a Kenne Bell setup or any blower for that matter i would go for just a patriot stage 3 head(Cheap and flows very well). Even though the AFR's have a thicker deck which in turn = stronger for FI, I would spend the extra money in other area's. If i were you i would do a setup like ours, but maybe 402 if you wanted:

LS2 Block
Patriot Stage 3's - Complete
Callies Rods
Eagle crank
Wiesco Pistons -32 dished
LS6 oil pump
LS2 timing chain
Kenne Bell Supercharger (10-18 psi) // Whipple is a lot taller and may have issues with clearance even with a cowl hood.
Custom Blower Cam

If you want I can pm or email you a price on a Turnkey Setup or if you like please feel free to give us a call anytime I would be more then happy to go over your setup more in detail with you, so I can find out more of your goals for the car.

We do get good discounts from both Kenne Bell and Whipple so we are good in those areas.

This sounds great...:yes: I sent u a PM now from LS7 NA to blown LS sounds like the final plan.... Big HP and fat Torque... :wow: Looking forward to it... Glad for ur posts and keeping it in the :lateral: family...

Another option could be an L92 setup with an L76 intake. Heck you could throw on an ITB intake even and that would be way different and can you say throttle response? Texas Speed has the L92 418 cubic inch strokers for under $5k. The L92 heads are super cheap and flow extemely well for an as cast head. Take into account that this is a built motor with forged pistons rods and crank and its a much better deal than the hyper piston LS7 crate motor. Should make 500 rwhp without even breathing very hard and could handle a 200 shot of nitrous no problem or forced induction if you so desire.

[Mizfit]

L92 stuff is great we also sell L92 short/long blocks. We also are the first company to build a Sheet Metal intake manifold for them. Affordable one at that.

[pist0lpete]

I believe I have seen your guys' intake and it is indeed a nice piece. Its paying upwards for $4000 for a sheetmetal intake that I cannot understand especially when that is ITB price territory. I didn't state it before but my plug of Texas Speed was merely because their price was easily accessible and I have dealt with them personally with great results. I did not mean to suggest you guys don't also build great products as I am sure you do. I wish I could do an LS7 or L92 in my chevelle but a forged 347 is gonna have to do for now. However, back on topic, what do you guys do for pistons in your L92 headed motors? From what I have gathered there aren't really any off the shelf pistons that have the correct valve reliefs.

[Mizfit]

That is correct L92 pistons indeed are still custom. I believe Diamond is the only company that has correct valve reliefs out right now. I have contacted wiseco about getting on the ball with some. Yes our intake retails for around $2000 for the Sheet Metal with Fuel Rails and Hardware. We are running a sale right now here on Lateral-g.net for $1800. I didn't think you were pluging Texas Speed I just figured I should let people know we also build them since it is not on our website as of now.

Oh Man!


:wow: WHERE IS THE DROOLING SMILIE!???

I just sold my LS1-4L combo (made a good deal) and am hunting a Trailblzer SS or LQ somting right now.

This is art my friend. I love fabbed intakes.

Thanks for the pics.

Lead.

[Mizfit]

It is $1800 with Rails and Hardware till Friday then it goes back up to regular price. Sale is part of becoming a new Sponsor here on LAteral-g.net. Check out the sponsor section or the open dis. section for more info.

Taylor

PM me if you are interested in one.:thumbsup:

[Leadfoot1]

Hey Thanks,

But since i don't have the engine yet...I think it would be a little too motivating to get the intake ahead of time.

Looking forward to getting there tough!

Is the regular price that much different? I have no clue.

Lead.

[Mizfit]

If and when you decide to buy our intake then give use a call and when can talk price. May give a little off retail at all times if you are a Lateral-g member.

Taylor

[Leadfoot1]

Thanks!

We'll defitely talk!

I am hoping to have our LS7 wet sump pan in hand this week to start trial fitting on our 70 house project. We decided to go a slightly different route than the LS7 crate motor, but the setup will still have the LS7 dry sump system. If anyone has a specific picture of the LS7 dry sump pan going into a GM frame (first gen, second gen, Chevelle, etc), I'd love to see it. I recall seeing an article in one of the magazines where there needed to be clearancing of the crossmember below the oil pan, I think it was a Chevelle, but I can't specifically recall. Nor can I find the pics!
