For a mere $2100 you can walk down to your favorite Chevy dealer and order a
brand new LS-7 from the factory (complete except for carb, alternator, and
stuff like that).  The LS-7 is a 454 with 12.6:1 pistons, a wild cam, and
all the heavy duty parts (4-bolt, awesome push-rods, etc), unfortunately it
doesn't come with aluminum heads, but what do you want for $2100.

Out of the crate, you are guaranteed 465 hp, but engine builders with dyno's
will tell you they usually run a bit higher than that.

Buying one is somewhat amusing, it comes in a crate with a tag reading:

	"Warning:  use only 100+ octane fuel"

If you want one, order early, it took us about 4 months to wait for delivery.
