I'll go out on a limb and state that you're bound to get nothing but

about that conversion around here.

WOW! That is a dream swap if I've ever seen one. Did you retain the dry sump system?

Very cool. Give us some details. Did you keep the dry sump setup? What kind of power does it make?

Underhood looks beautiful, could eat off that engine.

Welcome to the forum.
Install is sweet, looks like it came that way from the factory.

My C5 is in the shop having a wet sump LS7 installed right now.
How do you like the way it performs?

Thanks, y'all!

It's a wet sump set-up.

I wanted a factory looking sleeper and that's just what Vengeance Racing gave me. But, it's far from a stock LS7. Custom from the block up but retained the stock intake, and heads. Custom LS7 Kooks headers with a C5 bend. LS7 clutch, and it drives like stock til you light the fuse.

509 at the wheels with a mild-cam. The car is a blast to drive and has a lot of people wondering what happened when I cruise right by them.

did you maintain stock cats? I bet that motor in a C5 is a screamer.
How much to convert to wet sump?

Looks good. I think your car was at Vengeance when I picked mine up (early March). I'm sure you are enjoying it. They do great work!

I've been waiting to see someone do this. Best of both worlds IMO, I like the C5 body style, but who doesn't like the LS7? Awesome ride man!
