Autokraft pan with a corvette windage tray Has anyone used this combo? Or do I need to order an F-Body windage tray? This is on a 2005 Corvette LS2 going into a 71 Chevelle.

Thanks Andrew. The guy at Autokraft said it may work but he wasn't sure.
Your build page on Chevelles.com was my motivation to go LS2 instead of my 454 BB EFI. I actually have the complete 454/tko drivetrain setup in the Chevelle right now (haven't even fired it yet) but I'm pulling it to put the LS2 in.
I've purchased the Autokraft pan, Edelbrock Headers and adapter plates and will be having the 2005 Corvette harness modified by non-sponsoring vender (also will be purchasing the A/C Compressor relocation bracket and compressor that they carry.) I will be using the SSR pedal assembly so I can setup cruise control on the car.
I'm going with the McLeods 460530 flywheel and 8617 pilot bushing, so I can use the 12" McLeods Clutch and pressure plate (360820 and 260873) I hade purchased for the 454. Haven't decided yet on the clutch actuation, will probably go with hydraulic release bearing. Have been considering a hydraulic slave cylinder, keeping the OE style clutch fork and release bearing. Cheaper, but I'm not sure if I have the room to go this way.
I purchased the complete 2005 LS2 (35k miles), harness, and computer for $2800.00. Hopefully it was a good deal.
Guess I'll be needing to sale my Gen VI 454, Edelbrock Pro-Flow EFI set-up.
This build is be on and off for 10+ years but hopefully I'm starting to make some real progress.

Good choice going LS. My 454 Pro-Flo gets 11mpg, 14 on the highway. For similar power, 300 pounds less and double the fuel milage I am swapping in a LS motor as soon as I can get my hands on one...I too have followed Andrew's great build thread and really appreciate the guidance.
