Default Ls7 in c5 front cover & oil pump questions

Going wet sump, what all is needed done to do It?
What pump?
What timing cover?
What balancer?
What oil pan and pickup tube?
Will front accessories from c5 work?

Thanks

All the front accessories will work
I would go with the LS3 Pan and pick up tube (the batwing pans being superior is an internet myth)
LS7 balancer of choice
You will need an LS3/7 timing cover and the appropriate conversion wiring.
You will also need to relocate the knock sensors and get the appropriate conversion wiring to do that.
I used the Melling 96 off my LS6 engine.

Is there anything wrong with the batwing pan? Why should I not use ithe? No road racing, only straight line stuff

NO!! Didn't mean to leave you with that impression. The batwing is as good as the LS3 pan, just that it's not any better like most people like to say. The LS3 pan does make for more room and easier long tube installations, etc.

Soo much more room for activities when you use the LS3 pan. Worth the investment and Cultrag or Pace have them at a decent price.
