Default Would an LS6 oil pan fit in an f-body

I am about to put a LS6 short block in my car and it still has the LS6 oil pan on the motor would it fit in our cars with the BMR -K-Frame ?? from what I hear it's a better oil pan and it holds an extra 1/2 qt of oil over the LS1 oil pans

Default Re: Would an LS6 oil pan fit in an f-body

From what I understand the C5 oil pan (both LS1 and LS6) holds roughly 6.5 quarts (F-body LS1 holds about 5.6?) and the pans are not interchangeable between each body style.
But as far as having the BMR K member installed suddenly allowing the C5 pan to fit, that I'm not sure but I'd still say not likely.
