introducing the worlds 1st LS7 CTSV - Page 2

Awesome!! I've only had my V a few days so might have missed it... how did the LS7 fit in the Caddy? Did you have to build new mounts or make room for a larger pan? Not really sure if that extra liter is all bore, stroke, or a combo of both...

Does the C6 Z use the T-56? Did you use just the clutch assembly?

I did a semi step by step under ls7 -04 v. do a search.

Awesome. Let us know if you'll be out at Road Atlanta. You should try to get out there on Friday to see the CTS-VR race.

Just curious.. If the LS7 is heavier than the LS6.. If so, you should upgrade the sway bars if you haven't done so already.

Sorry, But who says its the worlds first, how do you know that A) Cadillac did not make one because I am willing to bet they did. B) I bet Mallett, and Lingenfelter probably have done it already also. ANYWAYS AWESOME!!!!!!!

do you know of one ? mabey someone else did one, probably not If you know what was involved. I did not say 427, I said LS7 there is a difference. If you find one let me know and I will change the title.

CONGRATS!!!! Excellent work, I can't wait to see the photos and vids.

I can't believe it.

!!! You have done what so many people on this forum said they wanted GM to do for the next model "V". Myself included. Will you dyno it stock before you start tuning? I hope you are kind enough to post your #'s. GM lurkers will surely watch this one. You may have done what it takes to make GM give us the LS-7!!! Mabey even that new CRAZY motor that I don't know anything about(LS-9?). I'm hoping for a 500+ rwhp, very tuneable car, for the next version. With more TV screens and video cameras, a few more bells and whistles, and some james bond type gadgetry....
Congratulations on leading the way! More inspiration for a stocker like me. Please update us and the thread should be starred or stickied or whatever that is so its always up top. Thanks.

It doesnt really matter to me, I just wanna see pictures of this monster...

Reed,

If you're doing a FAQ page, can you put up a short write-up from the install thread, with a list of the hurdles/changes needed to make it work.

This is the most interesting thing to come across the forum in awhile...

Here's a couple of the pics I was sent to host. Incase he didn't get my e-mail back with the link to them. c5racr1 if you didn't want them posted yet just e-mail/pm me or one of our Mods and I'll remove them.
