I don't like the look of the hooker kit
I don't like the price of the brp kit

There's no way to use a stock F-body LS1 pan with a stock 1st gen F-body steering, subframe, and firewall--one or more of them has to get cut or replaced with an aftermarket part.

My advice is use a Champ/Autokraft pan and S&P/Carshop mounts. If you need AC, use a Sanden compressor on the Kwikperf bracket.

Why not just use the moroso oil pan? When you say you don't like the look of the hooker kit are you refering to the motor mount relocation brackets? If you are I can tell you in my car with the headers and plug wires installed you can't even see the mounts.

DO NOT use the Moroso pan. Yeah the pan is only $220 and it hold 7 qts. But then it's another $90 for their pick up tube and another 100-$150 for the -10an remote mount oil fitler and lines to fit the pan. I used this pan, fits and looks really nice just expensive and a pain due to misinformation for me.

Cool, I didn't know the replacing ALL of the steering components would do the trick to get the inner tierods to stop smacking the pan. Seems like a lot of work to me for the sake of using a pan that's kinda small to begin with...

I was the guy that posted that on PT. I have since made it fit with a little more clearance. It is late now. I will post pics and a parts list soon. Been a while since i checked in. Just happened to catch this!
