LSx Diamension differences ??? Hi all this is my first Post here, so Hello....
I am building a Mid-Engined GT Car, and am going to use a LS1 as my mockup motor. My Questions are :-
1. If I build my chassis around a LS1 will I need to leave room anywhere to accommodate an LS2 or LS7 ??
2. Do they all have the same old Iron block Bell housing stud pattern ?
3. Does the LS7 dry sump pump make the engine any longer ?
Any Help would be greatfully received...

2. if you're referring to a SBC, no.
3. no. it just has another two oil ports on the passenger side above the oil pan.
edit : its slightly longer behind the crank snout at the front, not noticeable. its no bigger than an LS2.

Also, the end of the crankshaft is in a slightly different position (its about .400" shorter overall). In order to use classic SBC parts and pieces, you need a spacer between the crank and flywheel / flexplate. Search for 4L80E spacer if you end up needing it (kit even comes with correct length bolts).
