Default ls1 oil pan question

I have come to realize that the front sump gto oil pan won't work on ny application. So I'm switching to a rear sump camaro pan. My question is will the windage tray I have be the same/work with the new camaro pan? I'm sure I would know as soon ss I take the own off but would like to know ahead of time. That way I can do the swap all at once instead of having to locate more parts thanks.

On a side note what's a gto oil pan worth. With pick up tube?

Default Defective Holley Oil Pans

Check before you buy a holley oil pan. I paid $400 plus shipping for a deffective oil pan. The machine work is terrible. Their customer care is terrible.
Gm makes does their machine work with no deffects.
I even inspected their oil pan at sema this year and it has the same deffects.

Default Deffective holley oil pan

Ls1 oil pans are part of the integrity of the engine block.

What you're pointing to in the photograph is not a machining flaw. The area is smooth to the touch and meets OEM sealing standards. Holley uses state-of-the art CNC machining centers and employs rigorous quality processes.

Having said that, if you're not happy with the pan, Holley will take it back. I've sent you a PM with contact information for Robin L.

The LS pan not only adds structural integrety to the block but to the bellhousing as well so it becomes part of the overall structural integrity of the powertrain. The Holley LS pan incorporates bellhousing bolt provisions and is designed to maintain that integrity unlike fabricated sheetmetal pans and other available oil pan options out there.
