I'm trying to figure out if the C6 LS2 pan will fit, It has added baffeling in
the pan. The front part of the sump looks awfuly close, nobody has come up with a difinitive answer.... does Any body have a spare C6 Pan they want to let me borrow????

It isn't capacity so much as the exclusive integrated porting on the LS7 pan only for factory dry sump twin rotor oil pump.
BTW, you would also need a longer snout LS7 style crank to accomodate the twin rotor pump as well as an LS7 front cover... with cam sensor adaptor harness.

It would seem to me that if your pan had enough capacity (stock or modified), i.e. 7 or 8 quarts, and you did a good job of porting a stock LS2 pump or used a Melling high volume pump you would be just fine running an LS7 with a wet sump providing that your pick-up was properly positioned, your pan properly baffeld and your windage tray was effective. I don't think that the stock LS7 supply pump is of any higher capacity than a well ported LS2 or the Melling pump, is it? I understand that the scavenge pump in a dry sump system pulls a little vacuum in the crankcase which helps at high rpm but other than that it seems to me that a wet sump would work well so long as you shorten the crank to LS2 specs. and you install an LS2 front cover and pump. I'm not an expert so please correct me if I've missed something here.

Any more information on swaping the Ls7 dry sump onto a Ls1?
Could you use a f-body or the shorter Ls7 pan and a Melling high flow pump to get an affective dry sump system.
Anybody tried this?
Thanks
Robert

I have the C6 pan and it's interchagable with the f-body pan. I also have pics showing the differences in size at the front of the pan.. just need to host them.
The f-body pan is less than a inch tall from the flange.. the C6 LS2 pan is almost 1.5 inches..

I thought the LS2 vette pan is the flatest you could find. Us s10 swap guys keep reading that the 5.3L oil pan was the best fit. But I also keep reading that the LS2 vette pan is a better fit.
I'm going to stay here.
