Default LS2 GTO Front sump pan dimensions?

I've tried searching, but I can't seem to find anything on the dimensions of the GTO front sump pan. I have a nice custom moroso front sump and I hear it's shallower, but I would like to know how much.

From the front lip to the bottom of the sump/pan. My moroso is 5.5" deep from the top of the lip to the bottom. Oh, and also from front to back of the sump too. Mine is 5.5 on the outer edge and 6.75 on the center.

Oh, Just realized I posted this in the internal section, not the external section sorry!

Ah, cool so it's .5" shallower and almost 3" shorter front to back.

Thanks mark21742!

Sounds like they are pretty close except for your lower front width, but looking down in the engine bay it should clear everything.... plus the aluminum pan is thicker so that might be the biggest difference in the height. The pickup is pretty small and centered on the sump surrounded by a bog sheetmetal astrik that is bolted to the bottom of the inside of the pan as a splash sheild

yeah this is for my 240 swap and the guy who makes the mounts I use said this should clear. If it does then moroso might be getting a lot more business from the 240 guys!

Yup it seams like a pretty popular swap. I'd kleen to see more older European/ British small cars do this swap.
