a gm ls1 engine is rated at 320-325 hp. but every test ive seen done on a brand new ls1 crat engine dynoed 400 hp at the flywheel with stock corvette exhaust manifold and intake. the ls6 has the same block as teh ls1, it is not stronger. the z06 different heads and cam. the 98-00 i think ls1 has a ls1 intake. all 2001 and newer ls1's have the ls6 intake.
the ls2 is just a revised and little bit bigger ls1. the ls2 has like 363 or 364 cid compared to the ls1s 346 cid. the ls7 is not the c5-r block. they both however are 427's.
for the 2002 35th anniv. ZL-1's they fit 427 c5-r engines in quite a few camaro it can be done.
an ls1 corvette can beat a stock z06with a few mods. the z06 isnt that much more powerful. the z06 does have a beefier clutch revised tranny for the ls6 w/ better gear ratios and alot of suspension work. the z06 is meant to be faster but also handle like a mofo.
if you putting money into your car now like supension, stereo, body work like gfx hoods, and what not, i would just swap it later on. if you going to keep it stock and not put money into your v6 then i would just sell it later and buy a v8.
im going to get my car to handle and look good. by time im done it would be logical to sell it for a v8 and start all over. so when the time comes ill get a ls series engine. as far as swapping in old technology, the ls series make HP and lots of it. look at the old 69 camaros their old carb technology but they can still whoop your @$$ and most cars out there too. if you worried about keeping up you dont need a new engine. just mod it and the ls series respond well to mods.
the ls7 does have 500 HP and 475 TQ
