Default Do ANY other oil pans fit LS1 F-Body's? I cannot find one

Hey guys,

Do ANY other oil pans fit the F-Bodies? Like C5/C6 .. CTS-V, anything? I have an 04 block out of a GTO (LS6) and I need a new oil pan for it. All the NEW ones for F-Bodies are backordered, and I cant find any good used ones.

Could anyone gimme a hand? Thanks!

How much lower does it sit? Is it just the sump that sits lower or the whole profile of the pan sits lower?

I know there's not much room between the upper portion of the pan and the K-member. Also, would it be low enough to cause problems for lowered cars?

Just wondering for personal knowledge...

I would be willing to bet between the k member and pan there is less then an inch of clearance with a stock f body pan.

Fbody:


CTS-V:


There are also a number of aftermarket oil pans that will work. Not sure how much you want to spend though.
