RHS dry sump setup? Can anybody here provide me any information using a dry sump setup on an RHS LS (tall deck block)?
I know they tote it as being dry sump friendly, but I found several threads where people are talking about re-machining passages and having problems with belt drives and other issues (of course I'm an engine noob so all of that is wlel over my head in understanding).
Basically what I'm curious, if I want to use a dry sump with an RHS block, is there a package I need to buy? Do I buy a standard LS7 ARE one, or is there a more specific one since the block already has -12AN fittings on it for it?

So this is probably a stupid question but what do you do for the ports?
What I mean by this is the ARE setup has 4 ports in its pan. Okay, but the RHS block has 4 -12 ports as well (I believe). Which do you close up? Or do you use them all? Or am I getting confused?

I used an A.R.E pan and 4 stage belt driven pump. You run the pressure hose to the fitting in the A.R.E. pan where your oil filter on your stock pan would go. The AN fittings in the block are not needed. The RHS block has a divider casted in the block that doesn't require the use of that plastic dumbell therefore there are no worries of pressure bleeding by into the OEM pump oil port.
The 3 ports on the right side of this picture are the scavenge ports. The top left fitting in this picture is where you run the pressure hose from the pump.
