All of the accessory bolt holes and provisions are in the same spots between the LS2 and LS7. You should be good to go without any issues (other than the dry sump and such as mentioned already).

Thank you very much Matt!

Matt - don't you need a spacer for the crank snout if you're running the dry sump crank? I seem to remember that there is an issue with the pulleys lining up.

Yes, as stated the dry-sump does require some changes...but everything else has the same provisions. I forget who makes it, but there is a spacer you can run so you don't have to modify that stock LS7 crank to run the standard GTO/F-body crank pulley.

so just basically ill need the spacer and im good to go?

You need to change the damper on the engine to a C5 with .015 trimmed off the back for the belt alignment to work out with the GTO stuff.

If you use the spacer (I think SDPC makes it), why couldn't you just use the GTO damper?

If they make a spacer for all the accy drive that could work, but the simple solution is to leave all the accy drive in original location and move the damper back into the stock location.
