That however is more of a full blown custom built engine complete with dry sump tank and all the trimmings.

An LS7 can be changed to a wet sump set-up and if necessary, the reluctor wheel on the crank can be changed in order to keep the factory C5 LS1 PCM. Other than that a complete LS7 crate engine can be dropped right in. Just needs a couple wiring harness adapters and of course a tune as well.

But you will have to take the crank out to change reluctor.
