LS2-LS7 swap

[ivanj]

A friend is thinking about swapin his Monaro' LS2 for a LS7.

Any one done it in the UK? if so any pointers?

He wants to beat the LS3 ultima Im building [hes got no chance but will be fun trying]

Talk to Roger, he put a built LS7 into Harry's car.
In reality it should be a simple swap unless he wants the dry sump.

[ivanj]

Whos Roger?

And yes he wants to keep the dry sump.

He means Roger at Monkfish Performance. I've seen an LS7 engined Monaro, very lazy sounding but powerfull. It was not cheap mind!!

[ringram]

Especially not with the dry sump

But yes call Roger at Monkfish. He will probably start screaming when you say "monaro", "project" and "ls7" though.

[ivanj]

cheers thank you,

Ill pass the info on. It origionally was going to be a LS3 conversion but now the price of Ls7's have come down he wants to play my willy's bigger than yours game.

and they say you get wise with age!

[ringram]

Tell him to not forget to upgrade the camshaft while he is at it

[ivanj]

Dont worry hes goin for a stage 3 camshaft which Im also looking at putting in my LS3 as Ive brought the hotcam kit but thinking about it my cars a track car so DD isnt a prob.

His car is also a track toy and hes in the same situation.

Ive told him hes going to need F/I to beat the ultima but well find out.

[ringram]

If you want to offload the hotcam kit talk to MyM8V8 he was going to get that, so you might have a buyer.

[ivanj]

Ill keep the hot cam incase the st 3 kit is 2 much. [i know im a wuss]

We can do it

[ivanj]

Cheers
But I think he'll do it by himself did you run into any major issues?

[monkfish1]

Ok. No real issues as such, just ancillary bits. Havn't tried to fit a dry sumped version though. That would be a bit more involved. Cant see the point on a road car though.
