LS7 427ci V8 Engine – 660 HP
Take the LS7 427 engine platform beyond its factory configuration with this 660 HP LS7-based 427ci V8 engine package. Built around the 7.0L LS7 architecture, this high-output setup combines a performance-oriented camshaft and engine calibration with the lightweight aluminum-block design that made the LS7 a standout among GM’s Gen IV small-block engines.
The engine is built around a 7.0-liter / 427-cubic-inch aluminum V8 architecture and features forged-steel crankshaft components, titanium connecting rods, aluminum cylinder heads, titanium intake valves, and a dry-sump lubrication system. The listed configuration is rated at 660 HP and 540+ lb-ft of torque, making it a substantial step beyond the original factory LS7 output.
For buyers planning an engine swap or performance build, the package also includes a brand-new-in-box installation kit intended to simplify installation. The kit includes swap gaskets, mounting hardware, and accessory-drive components to help address the hardware required during installation.

Built for Performance-Oriented LS7 Projects
The 427ci LS7 platform is well suited to performance builds where displacement, high-RPM capability, and the LS architecture are central to the project. This configuration retains the fundamental 7.0L LS7 layout while targeting a substantially higher output than the original production specification.
The 660 HP rating applies to this specific performance configuration. Buyers should verify application requirements, engine-management compatibility, dry-sump equipment requirements, and any additional components needed for their particular vehicle or swap before installation.
Dry-Sump Lubrication
This engine uses a dry-sump lubrication system, including the factory dry-sump oil pan and internal scavenge pump. An external oil tank is required for a complete operating dry-sump system, so the lubrication system should be accounted for when planning the installation.
Before You Buy
Because LS7-based engines can be configured differently depending on the application, confirm the exact installation requirements for your vehicle before ordering. Pay particular attention to:
- Engine-management and electronic-throttle compatibility
- Fuel-system requirements
- Dry-sump oil-tank requirements
- Accessory-drive configuration
- Engine mounting and swap hardware
- Transmission compatibility
- Cooling-system requirements
- Any vehicle-specific wiring or calibration requirements
This helps ensure the LS7 427 engine is matched with the supporting components required for the intended build.
A High-Output 427ci LS7-Based Package
For a buyer specifically looking for an LS7 427 engine, this package combines the 7.0L displacement and LS7 architecture with a listed 660 HP performance configuration and a new installation kit. The result is a purpose-built foundation for a serious LS-powered project without relying on vague horsepower claims or generic LS engine terminology.
