Default LS Fox Oil Pan

What oil pan is everyone using for the 5.3 in a 92 Mustang? I have the Maximum Motor-sport tubular K member

You'll want to use the F-body pan. I have the same K-member and that's what I used.

I found a F-body pan, I may just use the truck pan for this weekend just to get the motor in and start fabing the piping for the turbo's

I used the moroso swap pan ( rear sump intended for 1st gen camaros etc). It was $180 plus $80 for the pickup new from a parts retailer...fit perfect.

Has anyone tried an LS2 Corvette oil pan in a Fox or SN95?

From the oil pan FAQ in the stickies on top of the forum here, by looking at the pics and measurements of the LS2 Corvette pan, it seems like it would be a better option for me, since my car sits pretty low...unless the F-body pan can offer the same assurance?

Anyone know if an LS2 Corvette pan will fit??

What about the Hummer H3 pan??

Ive heard that the F-body oil pan likes to crack at the bottom for some reason??

What is another good and cheaper alternative oil pan to use in a fox or SN95 Mustang swap??
