Anyway to fit an LS7 with the factory dry sump in a new Camaro. The engine compartment looks a little cramped. I have a low mileage LS7
that I don't want to convert into a wet sump.

Go aftermarket dry-sump... GM's factory one still isn't that safe enough to keep oiling issues under control.

Unless it's to just say "I have dry sump"

I surmise there are plenty of wet-sump LS7's out there so if your just wanting a LS7 in a gen5, there are options down that road as well.

I ordered a new Camaro SS with the LS3 and was thinking about dropping in my stock LS7 off of my Corvette. I am not interested in tearing into that motor to convert it to a wet sump.
