Anyone on a tighter budget, I have a 2007 LS2 from a vxr8 with 17,000 miles on it.
As new, swapped for LS7 so its spare. Cost £2200 smile
Got some pics if anyone is interested too. Ill post a classified soon.
I can provide a spark table and fueling map for 360rwhp which was 40rwhp more than stock LS2's at vixpy's dyno.
Engine has roller rockers too.

I am on the LS7 way and live 40 minutes away from Solution F.
I have seen these engines and had an offer but unfortunately they are really expensive !
So I choose the same way than Kyle (Gulf LS7), cheaper and hopefully better...

interesting, I thought 9k was a good price for an engine, but what is included ?
and curious what is the cheaper route ?

I'd have thought that 9k for a genuine ls7 was a good price as well but I haven't checked prices for quite some time. Last time I looked that was the sort of price you would spend on a crate engine (long engine). By genuine I mean titanium rods, stock crank and square port ls7 heads with hollow titanium valves etc. As opposed to a 427 ci built in a ls7 block with older style heads and more 'ordinary' components.

thanks for the update Budala,

however the ad says 9000 pounds, I will give them a call to clarify.
At 9000 these are well priced at 18.000 they will have these 30 engines for a loooooooooooooooooong time.

Spatz when you call you might inquire at to which Motec is installed. The base unit is the LS box, non squentcail, minimum data logging no traction control retail about $2000. Most likley it has a m800 which has every trick in the book and retails at $4800. While I am at it I might add that several of the componets listed are of very high quality and exspensive. The valve covers FOR ONE RETIAL AT ABOUT $700 and are there to allow the use of after market shaft mounted rockers. The wiring harness is also several hundred in the end at 9000 BP this could be a very good way to attain a high spec LS7. lEE

I'd also ask if the engine internals are ls7 as those parts haven't been mentioned in the comprehensive list above. If they are then that would be good so long as the pistons have been upgraded to forged items.

called today charles was out of lunch and then run out of time, french have at least 2 hours lunch...............
anyway looks to me that this ls7 engines have some nice bits on them and it all depends how much pressure there is. it is quite simple if you have 30 engines (55 with the ls2) then what you really want is to sell them quick that means cheap, so if they are really 18k now, it only a matter of waiting these are the market rules, use them.

That's why I asked for a better price and ...no reply.
But I was one of the first to contact and visit them. I agree, be patient, prices should decrease.
By the way, lunch is only half an hour in France but then we spend more than an hour with our
wife (girlfriend, boyfriend?)...biggrin

ok the offer from them is

We sell the LS7 block with dry sump, oil pump, water pump, injectors, coils, throttle body, fuel ramp, alternator and flywheel for 10.000€.
For 13.000€ we sell the block as describe previously with a DTA S80 ECU and the engine wire-harness.

I think this a not so bad offer, but I am not an expert, what are the necessary modifications to make it usuable for the ULTIMA ?
here the pics that I received from Charles:
I also have learned that these engines were supposed to go into a nascar car alike racing series which has been cancelled and therefore
these engines are now for sale. I wonder if the manifold can be converted back to drive by wire ?

I may be incorrect so please, anybody correct me, but with fly by wire you can make the engine in relation to throttle position.
