No, they are definately not the same block. The C5R block is based on the LS1, the LS7 is very different. The LS7 is a bit more advanced, but the C5R uses better materials (and is $5k for a bare block). Doug Rippie Motorsports builds some sweet 'vettes. I have seen the C5R blocks down there in cars and in buildup.
