Default CTS-V pan on a 5.3

I just got a CTS-V oil pan for my 72 Cutlass 5.3 swap.The 5.3 came from a 2002 Silverado.Will the Silverado windage tray work or do I need one from a CTS-V?
Thanks

Yes.. the Windage tray will work.. when I had the CTS-V pan on my Chevelle. I just used a Truck one. The only one that uses the 3/4 length one is the F-Body pan. just make sure you use the Windage, oil pump pick up, dip stick and tube..

FYI.. the CTS-V will hang done about 1" unless you raise the engine up. I cracked my CTS-V pan one day and hit it on many Speed Bumps.... I am now using a Notched F-Body pan and plan to swap to a Holley this winter.

I'm about to order mine. So are you saying all we need is the cts-v oil pan, and that the truck windage, pick up, dip stick, and tube will all work? or do we need to get all of those parts from the cts-v except the windage, which the truck one works fine? thanks

No, you'll need the CTS-V pickup and correct O ring.
Dipstick might be interchangeable.
