What is needed on the short block to support an LS7 dry sump?
Just what is needed on the shortblock to support an LS7 dry sump? In other words, if I wanted to run a different shortblock in my Z06, what would it need to have to plug in to the oiling system the same as the stocker? I know the cranks are different, but what besides that? Block? Front cover? Oil pump?

The LS7 oiling system requires that u use a crank w/ the longer front nose (the 2-stage oil pump is thicker), and the LS7 front cover and bottom cover. If u get a shortblock that has a normal LSX crank, u will be SOL
