I have oil pans/windage trays/pick up tubes for an 04 truck (12579273) and 06 LS2 Corvette (12581810) and am trying to find out if either will work in the 69 Camaro. I know I can have the truck pan modified (heliarced) to fit but not sure of the ramifications. I've heard 98-02 F body pans worked but not definitive. Will any GM pan fit without modification using "O" offset motor mount adapters? I'm not impressed with some of the steel after market pans. Thanks all...

In order to get a stock F-Body pan to work, you would have to move the engine as far back and up some when mounting, also move to a front steer rack system ? BRP used to market a kit that would allow the use of a stock F-Body pan. It would be the same story for a LS2 pan, both have very long (front to back) lower sump's. IMO, I would Suggest aftermarket.

Check out RetroLSx's new swap pan..It is cast alum. Its shape like a LH8 pan but shorter on the sump. It should work, they are also putting together a mounting kit. I have one of the pans on order to use with my 71 Nova... waiting to see what the mount kit looks like.

That thread has a lot of information on this swap. The upcoming RetroLSX "LHX" pan looks like a good plan of attack for optimal clearance.
