looking for LQ9CHEVELLE Would you happen to have any pics of the ctsv pan/edelbrock adapter plate mount combination for a 68-72 chevelle, specifically the pan clearance. I am installing a 2008 6.0 into a 68 chevelle and having already purchased the edl adapters/headders i'm trying to spec out the best pan to continue the swap. Are tie rod clearance issues associated with this combo and ,if so, what is the best remedy. Any help from other is greatly appreciated.

mine hits a tiny bit, using the cts pan-i orig cut/rewelded a slot under the centerlink to drop it a tiny bit, but never did-i put plugs in place of the grease fittings, still hits a little, but not bad-i have Hooker mount adapters, would have to compare to Edelbrocks holes
if i pull the engine i might cut/weld a flat plate in the area-its been like this for a year and a half, so not a big deal-i though someone had another pan out there that cleared, still a GM one
i have mine on the lift now, so if you need a pic where it hit, i can take one

I am interested to see photos also. I am just mocking up a LY6 in a 68 Chevelle. The truck pan is obviously too deep in the sump, but my concern in the tie rod contact. Tie rods clear the drivers side no problem, but interfer on the pass side - and by a decent amount. Based on the oil pan sticky the CTS-V and truck pans look very similar in the front so I am not sure that will work on my 68.
I am using the Edelbrock plates with the original 396 stands and mounts.
BTW, the Edelbrock headers fit great with good clearance all around on both sides!

Did you ever get a chance to take some pics of your ctsv pan/edl adaptr setup? Also did you mount your frame stands in the stock location or did you readjust for the pan to crossmember clearance?

I used the Autokraft pan with my edelbrock converesion kit on my '72 vert.
Search under Moroso/Autokraft pans and you'll find some pics of my pan and tie rod clearance. I used the stock mounts and Edelbrock adapters and shimmed the pass side about 1/2" for header clearance and the tie rods don't hit. The pan fits great all around so I think it is definitiely worth the money.
