Default Re: LS7 427 Z06 in Midyear Vette

A light weight all aluminum 427 small block in a midyear sounds like a great combination for auto crossing. You probably already know this but IIRC the 2009 or maybe it was 2010 Z06's went to an 11 or 11 1/2 quart dry sump oil system whereas prior year Z's were 8 1/2. There are kits out there to modify the oil tanks on the 2008 and prior engines to bring them to the higher capacity, but you probably already knew this anyway. I think I would want the higher oil capacity if I was auto crossing. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Dave
