    I thought the LS9 has the full-fledged 2300 TVS?

    LS9 is also a forged piston motor and the LSA isnt. Put the LSA wet oil pump and oil pan on.

    The cranks are different on LS9's to accept the dry sump setup, so you cant just throw a pump on it.

    Dry sump should be little extra trouble. I would think much less than converting one to wet sump.
