If you get the block sleeved by Benson, that's $2200 right away, plus shipping.

and its only $4k? i know ls7s are $$ but really? you want to spend $4k on a broken block basically?
then about $4k in fixing the block to get it back to at least OEM spec, plus $2k for a used T56. add another $3K if you buy a swap kit and need misc swap pieces and clutch pieces.
LS7 is not worth it. unless you just want to brag about having an LS7. most people just buy the cheapest LSx block they can and build it to whatever specs. Half of these LS6/7 S13/14s are NOT real and just been built up to those specs.
i used to want to go LSx but $2k for a used T56 is toooooo much. totally offsets the build being able to pull higher numbers for less than a sr/rb/ka/etc.
