Default The best place to get a low profile oil pan ?

Is this still the cheapest place to get a muscle car oil pan? ( it was reccomended in some older build threads)

You might be able to find it on ebay as well as a few other sites that will price match or beat it.. but Jegs is always or usually a goo price as is Summit, SDparts or Pace...

With that pan you can run into clearance issues. A friend of mine has one on his Chevelle, and it hangs down a good 2.5 inches below the crossmember, but it works. I just used the new Holley pan on a swap, and I couldn't be happier.

+1, was going to inform himn of that.. but he was only asking for a place to buy the pan..

Use the Holley 302-2 pan !.. I just got one for my Chevelle.. I had a CTS-V pan, it hung 1" below the crossmember. I bottomed out on it and cracked it. So 2.5" is going to be a lot.

I am currently running a leaky notched F-Body pan. .plan to swap the Holley in within the next two weeks.

I ordered the "revised pan" from Jegs on 01-05-'14.
I just called because it hasn't shipped yet.
They (Jegs) said maybe mid February.

Are the dimensions available? I have the truck pan in mine which is way too low, I think the car pan is like 3 inches shorter?? Is this the car pan that is shorter?

Since the truck pans are the deepest pans, I'd say the car pans are shorter.

You might still have fitment issues though.

Check the Oil Pan FAQ/Sticky.. But the F-Body and Vette one are about 5 1/2" to 6" from the top of the flange to the bottom of the sump.

Post up some comparison pics when you get it, I have a CTS-V pan but since I went with air ride I think the holley might be better. Plus, my engine is on a stand now anyway so it'd be an easy swap.

What car are you puttting the engine in? C5 batwing pans are an option on 2nd gen f-bodies.
