Im looking to put some power in my build and have decided on the LS7. i dont have the cash to buy a swap but i found the bare block new for $2500 from gmparts and will build one myself. Can any of you get this cheaper?

Unless you are dead set on spending a ton of money and having an aluminum block, I have an alternative.  Get an Lq4 out of a newer chevy truck.  You can then put LSx heads and intake on and have a cheaper, high power engine.  You could even run the Lq4 setup until funds became available to upgrade. Just a thought.  I've seen decent mileage Lq4's go for less than $2000 complete.

Also,
  Put on some l92 heads if you are budget/performance minded.
