ls2.. dry sump oil?
ls2.. dry sump oil? i think i read somewhere that if i go with an ls7 in my truck i will have to convert to dry sump oil which will be a pain in the ***... what about if i go with the ls2? my truck is a 2000 silverado.. i'm mainly just goin for the corvette engine since its just a show truck.. so i did some thinkin and i guess it dont really matter if i do ls7 or ls2
