[Chevelle-list] LS7 Engine and trans

[Mike Holleman]

Mike, That would be an LS2. Makes 400HP and 400 lbs. of torque in stock 
form. 500 HP is easy to come by for about two grand extra. I have a drop out 
from an 05 GTO with T56 on my shop floor. It's going in my 65 Elky. And it 
won't be stock. This engine can also be found in 04/06 Corvettes. GM Perf. 
has it as a crate engine as well and now has a carburated version called the 
LS364. Makes an easy conversion in older cars like ours and produces 440HP 
out of the box. Anyone going to SEMA look at the 67 Chevelle in the Hotchkis 
booth that Terry Stevens just completed. It has the LS 364 and is very 
nicely done.
