8 motors = 1 million..... Doubtful, that's like $45,000 more than the Z06 itself lol.

already factored into the cost of the part.

thats closer to 200 grand at best (25 k per motor would seem high really, its only a 70k car)


dont forget dealer holdback

Yum!!! C6R engines... very different from the stock Z06 engines. The factory Z06 LS7 does not have carbon fiber valve covers. The intake is also different as well as the coils, on the factory Z06 they are directly on top of the valve covers, however on these engines they are relocated to avoid additional heat and allow quicker access to the engine. The intake on a stock Z06 is much like the LS6 and LS1, not the "dual" design that these appear to be.
That is just what I have noticed at first glance.

My day job is a Parts Dept. Manager at a Chevy dealership and I have sold 3 of the LS7 crate engines to a customer, I assure you all, they looking nothing like these! And the crate engines alone retail for somewhere over $15K MSRP, though I sold mine for less

I'll try to get some pictures from my customer as he is putting one of them in a 1967 Camaro, a Nomad, and the last, in a 60's Corvette
