Default LS7 question about oiling

Does anyone know if you can change the LS7 dry sump over to a regular oiling system. Say like on other LS engines. I am installing this engine in a street rod and dont have a good place to mount the oil canister.

This is probably not what you want to hear, but.... I've heard that its not cost effective to do that, if it can even be done, never seen it done. Mark at Street and Performance might be able to help, if you can't find out on here. Best of luck.

"LS7 was converted to a wet sump systems (and they said it couldn't be done) using a 6 1/2 quart Holden Rear Sump Oil Pan and a few other goodies which makes this a more practical application for those who do not want or need the bulky oil reservoir tank and hoses"
