WTB LSx Oil Pan

I have an Lq4, and the truck oil pan hangs super low.

Looking for an f-body, or GTO oil pan. Need the windage tray, pickup tube, and if possible the dipstick tube/dipstick as well.

Re: WTB LSx Oil Pan

Appreciate the heads up. Guess just the F-body pan and possibly even the cts-v oil pan.

Re: WTB LSx Oil Pan

Corvette is the only LS3 pan that will fit, but only on a tubular K-member

Best bet is to find the $200 Fbody pan kit deal

Re: WTB LSx Oil Pan

If you look at the measurements it should "fit" but Im afraid of about how low that rear sump will hang past the K member. Im thinking bout building a bracket race car with a carbed 6.0 and im debating taking the plunge with that oil pan. But I need to compare its measurements to the stock truck pan first. Maybe that will be my mission during my free time at work today.

I found a side-by-side picture against the truck pan. Seems like its not much difference, if any.

The price is right, but shaving those extra couple inches with the fbody might be smarter for the extra coin if I can find a used fbody one for sale.

Re: WTB LSx Oil Pan

Not sure about your application, but be careful the sump is not the lowest part of your vehicle. I just swapped a L76 from a G8 GT into my '91 Z28 but ran into problems with ground clearance. My solutions was an LS1 (98-02) oil pan and I found one on Ebay. This oil pan is only 5 inches deep compared with the LS swap oil pan sold by Summit Racing which is 7-8 inches deep.

Re: WTB LSx Oil Pan

Im going to try to make a trip down across the border shortly, so if anyone has an Fbody pan in the Buffalo region, or will ship one to there let me know.
