I'm putting a LS7 into a 01 ZO6 and have a few questions. We are wanting to keep it drysump. Will the C5 front drive accessories line up with the stock LS7 crank pulley? Will the drysump oil pan clear the C5 engine cradle? Will C5 headers run into the drysump inlet/outlet lines? If so will C6ZO6 headers fit?

looking at the oilpan measurements in the conversion section, it looks like the oil pan will clear the k-member.

It is much easier to use a C6 oil pan and go wet sump. The LS7 dry system is not unusually good.

Good info. For the driving I do, I really do not think I would need a dry sump setup.

I want to know how you're going to deal with the different reluctor wheel?
