i need to get the truck pan off my motor and go to something with more ground clearance.

the motor is a 6.0 stroked to 408. not completely sure which exact block it is i was told ly6 out of a 2005 truck. i researched and i may be wrong but it looked like the ly6 didnt come out till 2007. havnt got a chance to look for a casting number yet. it is installed in a 91 camaro

my question is will a stock f body ls1 pan and windage tray work with the 408 stroker set up. i was worried about clearance for the crank. also will this be enough compacity of oil to lube the motor. it looks like a 5.5 quart pan and i believe the truck pan is 6 quarts.

i appriciate any and all advice. i have to get this done this week it is way to low and hits everything in the road.

thanks
mike

I would look into a aftermarket pan with a better pickup location and baffles.
