Here is a LS7 converted to a wetsump. You will need to drill the block for a dip stick tube.

You will need to change the 58 reluctor wheel to a 24 or get the LPE converter box.
Buy 2 remotes, new or used. Do a search on how to program the remotes and follow the steps.

I know you're a new member but you should really try to perform the search and find out yourself. Here is what I found. A lot of good usable information here:

There are a couple sources for plug-n-play wire harness extensions for your MAF sensor and crank sensor and new location for your knock sensors (side of the block). You may need headers as well, just be sure the header company knows you need the correct flange for an LS7 to bolt up to the heads. That's not a big issue though and easily done.
Personally I would change it over to a wet sump and not have to deal with mounting the oil tank and relocating the battery to the rear of the car, etc.
Needless to say, a custom tune will be necessary.
Scoggin-Dickey can be a good source for a lot of your needs or maybe Katech as well.
Good luck.
