ls2/ls7 front cover

am building a 440 lsx witha 58x ls2 callies crank and am intending on putting it into a c6z06. i know that there were differences in cranks for the ls2/ls7, but what about the front cover. can we use the regular ls2 cover with the front mounted sensor and bo o.k.? we are useing a double roller, have already ground on the inside of the ls2 cover, etc for fitment. thanks, joe

I'm not sure but I think the LS7 cover is different. Deeper maybe.
