Any reasonably priced foxbody oil pan options? 91 Notch Foxbody, have a 5.3 and will be getting a turbo later.
So after looking around a lot it seems that people really only use the f- body oil pan, and after looking into that people want $200 dollars for just the pan (Which is the same price as a new one btw, and half of what I got the entire motor with accessories for...).
I know the 5.3 truck pan can be modified, but I haven't seen many success stories by going with this method. Mostly people saying they tried it, it leaked, they got another pan. Anyone have input on this?
I'll be making my own motor mounts most likely if that helps at all. There's also a guy locally selling a "Batwing" corvette oil pan for pretty cheap that I've been considering but haven't found anyone that uses them.

The Chevrolet Performance LS Muscle Car Oil Pan Kit" Used to be the truck pan. Way too deep for most applications. Buy the f-body pan and be done with it that way when u buy the AJE K-member and LS motor mounts you will be all set...lol.. then you can buy the AJE trans cross member and then your motor and trans will sit at the right angle.....you can thank me later...then your cheap *** can go buy these hedman headers....lol..
