I have been considering replacing my old BB with a new LS7 crate.

Doing research here and elsewhere, it seems that getting a dry sump oil pan that fits is going to be a challenge. The old Speedtech (ATS) one appears to no longer be made even though it still shows up on JEGS and Summit.

Anyone aware of an off the shelf purchase for this application? Really would prefer to stay with dry sump vs converting to wet if at all possible.

Lastly, any idea if the Corvette LS3/LS7 accessory drive will clear a first gen sub?

 

GMPP,
Offers the LS7 w/ a genIV oil pan and a cam. You still have to address the valve guide issue though

I saw the wet sump 570 hp version but it is about $2k higher than the base model. For $2k I can add a better cam/springs and upgrade the rockers too. The pan they supply won’t clear my Gen 1 sub, meaning more here as well.

 

Then you also have to add an expensive oil pan that fits and then install a oil tank. In the end, it's a wash.
