I just bought this motor to go in my '55 convertible.





Actually, I didn't get the blingy parts, I bought the longblock. It's a 5.3 with
20k miles and a new Comp cam. The owner had it pulled out to be replaced by
a new vette motor.






Can anybody tell from these pictures which pan it has? It was in a 1968-69
Chevy show truck.


Thanks

either a f-body or a ctsv i think. I know it's not a truck or vette pan.

First thought was cts-v oil pan, but i dont see a drain plug. im leaning cts-v cause how thin it is at the front of the motor.

Edit: not a V pan i just pulled pictures of my mustang swap whcih im using a V pan and you can see the drain plug on mine not yours.

The F-Body has a thinner front sump. so it might not be. The Drain on a CTS-V would have the Drain near the rear (or at least the early CTS-V).

Depth of rear Sump
F-Body is about 5 1/4"
CTS-V is about 6 1/2"

Coudl be a LS2 pan. ?

I think you might be right...

Found this pic of an LS2 Corvette pan, will compare them.

I hate it when I'm Right ! LOL.
But check the casting or part numbers if you find any and compare in the Oil Pan FAQ thread.

keep us posted on the project !

Looks like the H3 Hummer pan aka GM muscle car pan.

Too shallow for that.

Yeah after taking a 2nd look at the rear I'd have to agree, it def not the h3 pan, looks like the Vette LS2 for sure.

Here's the part #..It's the LS2 Vette pan.



And the side view:




Very cool pan. 6 quarts and internal baffles...too bad it won't work for my project....
