Default LS7 questions

So we all know what the LS7 is, it's GM's big small block that belts out a healthy 505 rearwheel horsepower stock.

Now are any of the swappers using stock LS7's, and if so, what are you doing with the dry sump setup? What problems and solutions have you figured out in general? Any advice?

I like the idea of putting an LS7 into my Merc.

I haven't seen one myself, but I know ATS makes a semi-dry swap pan and a tank/breather for the LS7.

I've known him about 25 years and he's always thinking a little ahead of the curve!

Riding in a 2300lb car with 800whp on the street is something I'll only do ONCE!
