Default LS3 Oil Pan -vs- Fbody Pan?

Does anyone have any info on the LS3 pans? I need an Fbody pan but can't find one cheap enough. I have the chance to buy an LS3 pan.

Is it dimensionally close to the Fbody pan?

If not, and I can find an Fbody pan, does anyone have details as far where it needs to be notched and the pickup tube cut?

I can't weld but If I have the info, maybe I can find someone locally to weld it instead of S&P doing it and save a few bucks.

I can't find any info on here regarding the LS3 pans.
