my first thought is an aftermarket oil pan but cant recall the height/depth difference between stock and non that far forward. its pretty tight up there relative to the k-member.

Yes im sure. The windage tray has been cut short to clear the oil pan so it leaves the number 1 and 2 rod bolts exposed. (From my old ls6) so when I put the windage tray on and bolt the pan on.. rotate to check clearances. It hits the pan. It put a knick in the pan

The stock pan has issues with oil control. Pick up tube placement is bad. The Moroso alum pan is really nice and fixes these issues.

How does it have oil control issues? Had good psi cold and hot in my ls6?... what does it cost for a new moroso pan? Id like keep the stock pan. If possible.. guess I didnt know/had issues before.
