Default LS7 Forged short block FS

I have a brand new LS7 forged short block for sale. It is set up for forced induction.
It's been machined and balanced but not assembled yet.

This is set up for the factory dry sump system.

Factory block.
The sleeves are fine if you don't get into heavy detonation.
My car made 889 RWHP with a stock LS7 block until it broke a valve.
My second LS7 made 753 on 91 octane with no octane booster, meth etc.
I have a number of blown LS7 motors out there with no issues.
The LS3 is a little stronger, but the LS7 is just fine for boost.
The main caps are much better on the LS7, too.

what boost were you runnning on your 2nd LS7 that made 754RWHP, also what head unit, compression ratio etc... I am asking those questions, because they might help me in considering if I need the short block or not.

About 10-12# on a T Trim.
It's 10.4 compression.

Andy what reluctor is on that crank or is it a stock LS7 crank set up for the dry sump oil pump? I may have a customer interested in that block. How complete is it ie; oil pan, front and rear covers etc?

Can you run a S/C on a stock crate LS7 without any issues?

There is no such thing.

Blocks are all cast. There are exceptions, that are very costly.

So you made 889 rwhp with a stock LS7 motor? If you put good forged rods and pistons in a LS7, how much power do you think it could handle?

You sir, are a ****stick....your trying to be a smartass to a vendor and forum supporter that has built/tuned more engines than you have looked at on the internet. If your not being a smartass, then you have the social facility of an austistic 14 year old...."blocks are all cast". What a ****ing tool! Do you really think your giving information or pointing out an error on Andy's part?

moron

NO NO NO NO, its an LS7 block, but everything in that motor is forged, infact thats pushing it.

Not, in fact I have so much fun giving them nightmares with a car that barely does 600rwhp

I wont even race them with 750+RWHP.
