Fox body guys, what oil pan?
I have a PA racing k-member with the modified motor mounts and currently have a truck pan on my 5.3 in there for mock up and i need more clearance by the steering rack and of course i cant have the sump hang down 4inches below the crossmember.
What are you guys using? F-body or ls2?

i just laid my ls1 into my fox the other day, and the corvette pan with MINOR mods fits...the drain plug was resting on the K member, i capped off the drain hole and welded in a bung on the bottom of the pan...tons of ground clearance...otherwise everyone uses the fbody pan

This is what I did. I cut it real nice 1 1/5 inches and I had my neighbor weld the pan, and to be honest I would not use it to plant flowers. The welds are embarrassing, it leaks, and took a month to get back.
So my plan is to put it in the car for mockup, and guess what, its the same depth as the gmpp muscle car pan. I will take pics when its in. I might be trying the Gmpp m/c pan.

I bought a CTSV pan from partstaxi for 230 shipped with dipstick new pick up and new windage tray, gasket. it was literally hanging out of the box when i got it though. I am missing bolts and it is scratched to hell. They threw it in a box with all the parts and gasket and bolts, and taped the box shut, no paper or packing materials at all. I got it yesterday.
