The cars were shipped off to HSV who had to rip the LS3 out and replace it with the LS7 and dry sump. This is a big part of the reason behind the cost premium of the W427 over a GTS.
If your idea for tick-a-box options were limited to basic bolt ons such as wheels, springs, dampers, seats, seat trim, exhaust, CAI, I think you have a hope, but not if it means ripping out Engines or Gearboxs, the W427 experience rules that out at any sensible cost.
