I used standard mounts I bought from Summit for $45 but had to move them back about 1.5" anyway. Used a CTS-V LSA pan I got off Ebay for less than $200 and it came with pan, widage, dipstick and tube, and gasket. No bolts however, I just used the ones from the truck pan I took off.

The muscle car pan hangs way down below the crossmember. Just something to be aware of.

The muscle car pan is a truck pan (not sure which truck) and it sits very low. The CTS-V pan does not sit quite as low, and is shaped a little different - the sump isn't quite as deep.
