www.LS1tech.com

there is a TON of great info and engines for sale as well... I suggest looking for a complete pull-out.

www.v8rx7forum.com
www.hinsonsupercars.com

I'm doing this swap in the spring.

V8rx7 forum will have a "How to" DVD and book that should be released by next summer I highly suggest it... the guys putting it together have done the swap MANY times.

Buy a write-off, and sell the body and other parts to save money.

just buy a 800 dollar 5.3 complete with acc's from the junk yard and have it bored out to a 5.7
it the cheapest way to do it, the only downside is about 75 pound difference in weight from a aluminum block.
