Has anyone an idea of the cost of a full LS7 conversion ?
I mean everything included (exhaust headers and system,...)
And is my actual trans (G50 6 speed from Ultima factory)good enough to accept
LS7 power and torque ?
I've heard and read so many different positions about it
that I can't clearly understand... I'm french after all :-)

My conversion cost £26,000 complete. The whole job was done by Gardner Douglas and the labour cost was not bad considering the amount of fiddling and faffing they had to do. Pleased I didn't attempt it myself. Proper professional job.
The LS 7 transports the car to a level way beyond the fuel puking, rattling SBC, and drives like a proper civilised car should
..that said it's a heck of a lot of dosh

En principe je ne m'en sors pas trop mal en anglais.
La difficulté réside surtout dans la multiplicité des informations contradictoires recueillies sur ce forum ou auprés des professionnels.
Ainsi ai-je déjà contacté Andy Burrows et Jeff Schwarz notamment mais leurs réponses divergent sur certains points.
C'est la raison pour laquelle j'aimerais obtenir de ceux qui ont déjà effectué cette conversion une information fiable sur le coût de cette prestation...

I can see the prices going up as well, with the $ being suddenly quite weak. A $32k LS7 package has gone from around £20,500, to around £25,500 in the space of 6 months.
silly prices!! im working on it at the moment and plan to do the work over the winter i will do a website and photos as i go if anyone is interested??I will hope to do the whole conversion including a new G50 (ratios) for less than 20k.

nothing really it just isnt as good as i would of hoped it would be, Can am Dave went out with me in it and he thought it was good but i want reliable, smooth , economical power and you simply do not get that with the SBC running at 530bhp!! Lots of people on here say 400bhp is enough but it aint for me!!!! Im sure an efi SBC with 400bhp would be a lot smoother and more economical but i bought an Ultima to scare myself stupid in. I also want to do some touring ie France etc and 14-15 mpg max is not acceptable in my eyes. I have spoken to several LS boys and they are seeing 24mpg on a steady run
I want to take Luckys crown next year as well
