I used to run the Moroso pan also, the LT1 F body specific pan. It was pretty trick with a windage screen, crank scraper, and trap doors all built in.

Cant remember the part number for sure but its just a regualar old sbc pan with the dipstick on passenger side and I have a tubular Kmember so no fitment issues on mine. I am pretty sure it would work with the stock kmember also.

I'm using the 7 quart moroso with kicked out sump it is pretty well level with the bottom of the K-member. For windage I used a welded in the pan fitted crank scraper and a Moroso windage tray clearanced for the dipstick and extra drainage holes added. I run a quart low and have no oil pressure issues.

Got a part# for this? (searching) How many quarts does it run? I'm gonna be using the Melling 10% HV pump so I'm looking for something that holds an extra quart.

Ah, found it: http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?catcode=17001

A little cheaper than the Canton I was gonna get: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MO...94&prefilter=1

What oil pump are you running with this pan^^

Also, everyone that is running without a low oil level sensor, what do you do with the wire and do you have to change the pcm code for this?
