well you could go with another LS1 but why not just rebuld your current engine? Also remember that stock trans will only take so much hp and tq

just swap the F-body oil pan intake and accessories and your done.

you are right,but i linked to the crate engine because op has a 98 so i figured he did not have the ls6 intake.i am deciding between to ls6 long block and crate engine.pros and cons for both.

Won't get 30MPG in the F-Body.
And you just wasted a lot of money for that potential instead of putting it into something that will cook the factory LS7 F-Body.

Not saying I don't like the LS7 and its potential....I just don't like the price.
The C6Z06 makes that motor what it is.

For $9K....you can build a 402/408 motor that will make 500RWHP, get 22-25MPG on the highway, and then add nitrous if you want for another 150RWHP and $1200.
So....650RWHP while spending less than the whole LS7.
