Default Will LS7 work with CTS-V or F-Body oil pan

I am considering an LS7 crate engine to replace the LS2 in my '81 Camaro swap. However the stock dry sump oil pan will not fit my car. How difficult to change to a wet sump CTS-V pan? Or is a different dry sump pan available somewhere?

I am of course also considering an LS3 crate engine, but by the time I rebuild it with forged stroker internals ($2500 plus my time), add 12 degree CNC heads ($2500) and other premium parts, an LS7 is about the same price. I would only need to put something like a 230/245 cam in it.

Thank you for any info or links about LS7 oil pan conversions.
