LT1 Crate $15,000
Per Bigg_Gunz
"The aftermarket is a big slice of our bread and butter. There will be a crate engine and ECM for that engine. Rejoice!" "You don't have to take my word for it. I hope that tuner or tuning company has a replacement plan for 2014 LT1. $14,995.00 is a lot of money. Engine is tough however the precision in which it works and has to maintain constantly is not for the lite heart." I suppose I always knew it will be more than the LS7 crate. |
Hmmm... I hope that's not a bad sign for the price of the car.

Believe it when I see it. Despite the added bits and new tech(and cost), it'll be shared across a butt ton of vehicles/motors. The injectors and fuel rail might be used on 4 vehicles by model year 2015. The ls7 has tons of ls7 specific parts and possibly just as important, more hp odds are. Ls1's sell for less then ls2's, yet they theoretically cost the exact same to make.

:iagree: How can the state of the art C7 have a $15K engine, better interior,more gizmos, and be priced at $55K. They would have sold new C6Z's for that.
something is weird about this. that engine should be 6k ish not to mention being used in other cars etc |
It makes sense. The LS7 is far simpler in design. The VVT, DI, and AFM area all extra. About the only thing the LS7 has that this one doesn't is the fancy rods. The LS7 sells for $12,000, it's about right.
Secretly I was hoping it would be around $10,000 but the parts satisfy the $15,000 tag. |
12k for an LS7? Most of them I've seen are 14-15k.

That's excellent. Glad to see them starting to come down some.
Not sure about the new LT1 as crate engine. Would seem the ease of tuning/camming/configuring the LS would make it more popular. And less expensive. |

Would you say the heads on the LT1 are closer in design to previous LS? It's a design from scratch.
The big cost is "cost of new tech". Just the DI parts alone are $$$. The casting material of block and head, the crank, the caps, the pistons, all of these are a lot more expensive too. Definitely LS7 block like in material cost but with extra goodies that cost $$$. |
