I would say 10,000-12,000?? just my guess. original LS7`s just aren`t around anymore and had premium top shelf parts from the Chevrolet parts bin. GLWS

I would cut that in half: 5 to 6, at the most.
1985 castings, not sure why that would be desirable, let alone double in value over the years. I'd rather find a 512 289 block and matching heads, and build my own for the same money.

This is a lot closer ^^^^^ and you have to go through it because they were known for having assembly issues at the factory.

Agree 5 to 6k at most.

Only good for building something nostalgic.

This is right around where I see them too. Only Nostalgia guys are looking for them. To high compression and too small cubes for most these days.

FYI you can by as powerful crate motor new with warranty that will more than likely outrun these Ls7, with hyd cam, pump gas and for less then $7000.00! Then you get into the whole 496 game for around that $$$ too.

Me personally, I would pass on the Ls7 and order a VortecPro motor and go from there...
