Ok thanks, and it reads correctly, looked at a 5.3 and the block recess for the stick is different from the 6.0 block just wondering.

What about an LY6 motor and an F-Body pan?

Well i guess i took the tag off.

Call Midway Chevrolet in Phoenix, parts department, there is a parts guy there named Mike, he has a 6.0 Turbo Shortbed Silverado, he is an LS and conversion master. He is the one that got me all my parts.

Is the H3 pan the same as the CTS-V pan ?

Thr dip stick needs to match the pan in order to read right. If you call the guys at SDPC they can probably fix you up.
