I like the LT-5 despite its limitations and degree of difficulty. It has 'soul' for lack of a better description. I like different and LS7's in Camaros are commonplace now. Want something that sounds unique also.

When you wrote a LS7 will cost much, much less than a LT5, did you mean stroker LT5's or even stock block LT5's?
I agree with your outlook.

The LT5 Strokers will cost much more than a built LSX engine. Plus the LSX will pass up most LT5 stroker like they ran out of gas. While stock LT5's will be lower in price than a good LSX . Adapting the LT5 to the car will come real close to closing or maybe exceeding that $$ gap.
hey I love my LT5 strokers , but technology makes it tough to compare one with the other. Technology wins hands down.
