Stock oil pan with 2.5 inches cut out. Stock steering, sub frame etc. no problems after 4 yrs. The alt. is close to the frame so I ground a little off the housing it's tight but no rubbing. Good luck.

Here's what I used, although I hear Edelbrock is no longer making exhaust products. Not sure if they are still making mount plates, but you could make some with the same hole spacing.

I have one of the RetroLSX pan and made up some Edelbrock copies.. I think the pan will be marketed by Holley from what we have seen here on the forum.

Anyone used the GM Performance Muscle Car Pan Kit? I always thought those looked like a good deal.

I'm going to try the camaro oil pan from years 98-2002. Pace has the kit for a good price. Part #pac 8771.

The GM Muscle kit is using the H3 Hummer / LH8 pan. it has good clearance due to the smaller rear sump.. but it does hang down a bit too much for lowered cars..

For the F-Body pan, using Standard adapter plates.. might be a problem with Tie Rod/Cross link hitting the pan. solutin would be to notch the F-body pan.
