Default 6.0 oil pan vs. stock ls1 oil pan

Hey guys, I bought a 6.0 oil pan from another member for a custom turbo project(deeper sump). I am getting close to being able to put it in, but I want to make sure, before drilling and tapping it, that after I put it in, it wont change my ground clearance. Anyone know?

if its a deeper sump then of course its going to be lower.

but i doubt that will be the least of your problems. clearing the k-member might be impossible.

Yes, ground clearance will decrease, and it may not fit.....what kind of car is it going in?
