Hi, I am new to this site. I ran across Jeff Hanson's photos of his LS7 install in a 69 camaro. I am going down that same path and was wondering how to find out more particulars on what was done on Jeff's car. thanks.

What are you looking for, info on the pan, headers, motor mounts, remote oil tank, throttle body, ECM, accessory drive, etc?

I am interested in using the dry sump approach and hopefully the original cross member. It looks from the photos that Jeff used the original and modified it. I was intersted in what modifications to the original camaro are necessary and those that are necessary to the LS7 engine. I am aware of the aftermarket clips that allow the install but I was hoping to modify the original. My understanding is there is a pan depth conflict with this approach but that is not evident in the photos. Any thoughts or advise would be appreciated. I am just starting on the motor so all options still exist.
thanks.

Jeff did an LS2 not an LS7. We make most of the parts to install the LS7 into a 1st gen with no mods. We even make an Ls7 dry sump pan for the 1st gen Camaro.

Check this one out, it is an LS7 install:
