As you may remember from our February '07 issue, GMPP has proven that with a little know-how it is definitely possible to cram a dry sump LS7 into a fourth -gen [Camaro]. However, many doubted that the raised height from an LS9 supercharger would fit under the cowl and Copeland was destined to prove them wron, though he later concluded that this swap is only for very experienced builders. After some careful consideration, the decision was made to place 47mm spacers in-between the BMR K-member and the chassis. This gave the necessary clearance needed for the blower without having to cut the cowl significantly, or having a negative effect on suspension geometry according to Copeland. The engine mounts were modified to lower the engine 5mm as well, and 15mm spacers were used between the cradle and transmission crossmember....Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, regulator, and new feed lines-- using the stock lines as a return(converting to return-style system)...Acessory drive uses modified factory pieces, locating the alternator lower left below the power steering , using the same belt to spin A/C and power steering pump.
LS9 uses a unque nine-bolt flywheel...(no flex plates available)....
