LS7 oil tank dimensions? Does anyone have the measurements, diameter, height, ETC for the OEM dry sump tank? I'm looking to see if I have room.
Thanks,
Ryan

The measurements I took a while back showed the tank height at approx. 22.5" (top cast section to bottom cast section) and the cylinder is 6" in diameter. You also have to allow for the dip stick, two top line fittings and oil cap which raise the overall height dimension another inch.
We didn't have enough height to fit the stock tank and had to make a new section which was shorter but wider. If you do modify the stock tank a 10.5 quart capacity needs to be maintained.

We installed a LS7 tank in the C5 vette. It looks similar to this.
