Default Will a camaro LS1 oil pan fit on a 5.3 motor

I am in the process of converting a v8 in to my Datsun. I have a 5.3 engine and the oil pan is too long, need a shorter oil pan. I read that the LS1 Camaro would work. Is this correct? If not, what oil pan can I use?

Yes it will definitely work. So will the CTS-V pan the corvette pan etc. Just some ideas for you to try in case the f-body pan doesn't do it for ya.

A LS2 Corvette pan will work too and it fits nicely in a S30 chassis using the JCI kit.

Yes sir it will work fine! Be sure to get the windage tray and pick up tube for that pan.

Default 95 camaro 5.3 swap

Will the lt1 oil pan fit on the 5.3 I'm trying to put in my camaro? can I use the dipstick/tube from the lt1 as well? And will the oil pump be an issue or can I leave the stock 5.3 pump?

If you are talking about the Gen II LT1, the answer is no. All Gen III and Gen IV oil pans are interchangeable with the exception of the LS7/LS9 and the dry sump version of the LS3.
