Re: LS swap oil pans
BTW superchevyperformance.com is $198.50 for the Fbody pan then around 50 for the windage and pickup tube. not gonna find it anywhere cheaper then $250 with new bolts/gaskets etc. But even the LS2 or LS3 vette pan should fit with a tubular K

Re: LS swap oil pans
C5's have a batwing pan (two styles, 1 piece and 2 piece) C6 had a pan similar to the Fbody pan, a tad shallower but a rounded at the front hump.
I have found very many C6 pans for cheap since they seem to be the pan that come on most GM crate LS motors.

I just look on ebay and they want 400 + for them. I will keep a eye open for them. C5 pans i can get but i will have some large headers dont know how it all will fit.
