Also is it an LS3? Ls5? I though a LS2 would barley fit.

LS1-LS7's block sizes are exactly the same or nearly identical if I'm not mistaken. It's the size of the bore/stroke that changes. Realistically a LS7 should fit identical to the LS2.

Exactly. The only reason most people don't choose the LS7 for swaps is because the LS7 is a hand built motor and costs an astronomical amount to buy one, even a used one. Much cheaper to just grab an LS2 and super/turbo it.

Kinda strange looking with the back so fat, but amazing project. Finally someone completes a RWD.

Shouldn't have made the flares as wide and cambered/poked the wheels after you slammed that thing.
