Actually, we had an LS7 that we just pulled out of a ZO6, and hoovering it over the H3 on a hoist, it appears it might fit in the engine compartment, if you removed the generator. However, you would have to pull the engine to change plugs, install the dry oil sump reservoir on the right fender, radiator and engine fan in front of the grill. Nice part of the LS7 is it has a small oil pan due to the dry sump system.
The engine upgrade will be in '07, the diesel, as H3 Builder says will be, most likly closer to '08 than first run '07 (if it does come to happen), and the V8 everyone is talking about will not be in '07.

Sure would look nice under the hood of a red or black HUMMER H3 SS 
My buddy has an older Ferrari and you have to yank the motor to do the plugs.

Hey Jersey Guy do you have the off road package with the 4:1 transfer case. I have been offroad with mine and have had no problems with power issues.

Guess what, the '07 will also have an I5. I'm also curious, there is one guy on this forum who went all the way to Alaska and had no problems. Honestly do not believe the extra HP in the '07 will help all who think the current I5 is too slow.
These things have been tested offroad at Windrock and the Moab area and go with no problems.

The I5 has pleanty of power to off road with! ...even at 12,000ft! For someone to say "and getting stuck on some off road hills that could have made it up no problem with more power this I5 is not! strong enough for this H3" sounds like they don't know how to off road! I have had this H3 on hills that are straight up and down, on hard packed and loose rock, boulder fields and yes mud and have not needed more power to make it through. I would like some MT's to help out in that mud dept, and yes I would like another 100hp, but it is not needed. The kind of person that "NEEDS" more power to make it through something or get stuck, more than likely "needs" to learn more on how to handle their truck.
