Hey guys has anyone installed a 5.3 in a lowered chevy full size pickup? The thing is I know that the truck pans have a longer sump than the car pans and I was wondering about ground clearance issue. My truck is a 74 c10 lowered 4in front n rear. If anyone has done this without having a problem then let me know.

The LH8 pan fits good. Its about even with the crossmember. There was room in front of it so an ls1 pan maybe a better option if your truck is lowered.

Looking at the H3 pan for my 84 that's got a 4/6 drop. But haven't got motor in to mock up yet

I have a lowered 1992 chevy pickup with the 5.3 and truck oil pan. I does sits 2in lower then the front crossmember but I don't have any problems. Not sure of the drop because I bought it with the drop already done but the rear is c notched.
Here is a picture of my truck.

I have a 4.8 in a 51 Chevy truck that is much lower. My truck pan is way lower than that, I would be OK with that clearance on my truck.

I used a 2007+ Cadillac CTSV pan on my 68 and 69 Conversions.

Ok my main issue is that the truck pan goin to hit ground while driving or if the suspension is working goin over speed bumps uphills downhills.

The Holley LS pan is the lowest profile you can find that still maintains 6qt oil capacity and fits most applications.
