Default LS in a 67 nova with TCI clip which oil pan??

I have to older style TCI clip with the swap bar mounted at the rear of the cross member. does anyone know which oil pan I would need?? I know that the F body pan fits when the swap bar is mounted in the front. does anyone have experience with the Holley LS oil pan??

From what I've seen, the Mast Motorsports is the best option out there if you are looking for a stock look. Autokraft is great too, but it is a fabbed look.

what do you think of the holley pan?? it looks like it will give me the clearance I need but I don't want to spend $400 on a pan only to find out it doesn't work.

this is the stock truck pan

this is the Holley pan

looking at the measurements, if the truck pan fits, the Holley pan will be perfect and the Holley pan sits just under a half inch lower than the F body pan.

The stock F-body pan fit fine with my TCI clip and the rear mounted sway bar - even though I took that accident waiting to happen thing off!

Mine fits too, but the bar is close to the pan.

I have Hiedt superide with a rear mounted sway bar in my 67 nova. Had to use a Autokraft pan. Works well.

But as I further eye ball things if the sway didn't have the jog in the middle and ran straight across behind the cross member it would clear a F body pan.

Going to redo mine this winter going to a 1 inch diameter.
