Least Expensive LS Swap Oil Pan???
Seems like everyone says the 98-02 f-body pan costs the least and doesn't have clearance issues. Does this apply to non OEM pans as well? Others I found:
Spectra GMP77A
In THIS listing it has a bunch more part numbers as well. I know the H8 pan doesn't work.

So on LS motors, the oil pan is part of the structural integrity of the block. Personally, that is somewhere I would spend a little more and get a GM part. Its not something you want to replace later.

Re: Least Expensive LS Swap Oil Pan???
the Fbody pan and kit is the cheapest you'll find for this. Dont' skimp. I went with the MAST set up for about $500...we'll see how it compares once I get it in the car.

Re: Least Expensive LS Swap Oil Pan???
So I found the for a decent price ($294.39 Amazon Prime). After adding the dipstick, dipstick tube and gasket, it comes out to about $40 more than all the oem f-body stuff. I'm sticking with the oem because I need to save some money. If anyone wants the other part numbers or links let me know.
