I don't know how many of you read it, but Hot Rod Magazine dropped an LS7 in a Solstice:

I never thought the day would come when i would say i would want to own a solstice, but that car if bad ass. Just think what it would run with a pair of slicks on their, they said it spun the tires through the first 3 gears on every pass. But what else would you expect from a car making 580 hp that only weighs 2,880 lbs.

This seems like a legit addition to this thread...



as always, the comments are enjoyable to read:

The whole point of an evo is not to be fast, its to be fast and have fuckin handling capabilities, not to just go straight. Why would you go red neck on an evo???
Just fucking retarded

or

you just made that evo heavy as hell

or my favorite:

Wheel spin is NOT impressive.  Gay

I would drive it really I think its a compliment to the ls1 that all the ricers want one seems like its the choice transplant for way more projects than a cobra motor

The pan itself I believe would bolt up. I would be more worried about the oil pump and oiling itself.

EDIT: Found a picture of the bottom of the LS7 block. Looks like the F-Body pan would bolt up. I am sure there would be issues though depending on oil pump and crank.



I REALLY want to get a 1994 RX-7.

If you go to sell the T/A, I have first dibs.
Can't believe you want one of those. The only import I would seriously sell my car in a heartbeat for is an M6 Gen IV Supra TT.

I said nothing about getting rid of the T/A for one.


Not a Supra fan myself.

i was at the milan dragway in michigan and this guy was the founder of this company that sold a kit to drop a LS1 into a bmw 3 series it ran very low twelves. i cant remember how much the kit was though. It was amazing to watch it go down the track

I knew you would say that

I figure a car that can handle up to 800+ horsepower on stock internals is shit hot to me.

[Mr. Luos]

Very true.
You like the 03/04 Cobras then??


Black 1994 RX7 with a 402 LS2 in it....

Does anyone know where to purchase the rotating assembly for the 9.200 deck heighth block to make a 482?

[Kalepsis]

No, but I DID find the build video for that LS7 Camaro SS I was talking about:
