Default Experience with LS9 in C5 ? - step in please

I am getting ready to supercharge a C5 with full bolt ons. I was considering a forged short block from on line but now I may have the opportunity to grab a LS9 short block. All factory setup. But here's the question - the LS9 is a dry sump. Will these dry sump blocks drop into a C5 or am I going to have interference? Any other unexpected problems? Thanks.

I don't know whether it will fit or not but the two differences that I am aware of that may affect the fitment are the longer crank snout for the dry sump and the 9 bolt flywheel pattern.
