oil pan for ground clearence

as of right now im running a summit g3500x oil pan in my 89 camaro. the block is a 79 350. i was wondering if theres an oil pan out there for lowered cars? my camaro is lowered 2" all around and my concern is my oil pan will get mangled on street driving.

The K member and various other parts should still be lower than your oil pan.

Re: oil pan for ground clearence

I don't know about the specific oil pan you have now; but a stock pan from a 2nd gen Camaro will fit perfect.

My favorite is the old GM "Z28" pan, with the Moroso coated windage tray. http://sdparts.com/details/gm-performance-parts/360450 A tray of some kind is REQUIRED with it, it has none.
