What are my biggest challenges in a LS7 crate engine swap including the dry sump system into my 1997 SS/LT1 4th Gen Camaro? I hate to give up on the LT1, however, it is the weakest link in my super fun HPDE car. The swap would include the dry-sump oil system and a/c (for driving to and from the Track!). Can it fit using the stock K-member and are their hood clearance issues with the SS hood? Or cold air intake options? Battery in the trunk and oil reservoir in its place? Do I have to abandon the ram air hood function? How do I accommodate the 58x reluctor wheel? Currently I am running the Torqhead 24x LS PCM Coil Conversion Kit. Does the extended snout for the oil pump on the front of the crank cause any clearance issues? Can I use my stock radiator and cooling fans? Can I use factory LS7 (5h Gen Camaro) exhaust manifolds or ??? Just installed a SPEC aluminum flywheel and clutch )-: and T56 was just rebuilt. So I would have the input shaft replaced on the tranny for the LS conversion. Probably want a new SPEC aluminum flywheel but with Z06 clutch and pressure plate? What throttle body would I need to use with my throttle cable or should I convert to drive by wire? Fuel pump upgrade?

And what accessory drive would I use? Would I need to replace my alternator? a/c comp? p/s pump? and with what units?

This has been my 20+ year drive to the track and drive it home car. Also this swap could relieve me of some mental engine reliability/stress issues. LS7....the stress reliever? (-:

So many questions... Any help would be appreciated!

'97 Camaro SS with 50,000 miles and several dozen track days. While changing front springs, shocks and sway bar and I noticed the ball joint on rear of lower control arm is a little loose, maybe an 1/8 of up and down play. How critical is this play to my suspension geometry? Is this the main wear point on the front suspension of upper and lower control arms and spindle bushings and joints? I have recently changed the tie rod ends and replaced the splinlde/hub/wheel bearings numerous times. It is my S/C (semi-competition) street car and wears slicks on track days.

My HPDE 4th Gen Camaro needs some new rotors for my C5/6 front brakes. Pros and Cons of Plain, Cryo and High Carbon? The prices go from $110 to $208 for the pair. Enjoying Raybestos ST43 for pads.
