Default Batwing Vette Oil Pan in a V?

Does anyone know if the cool bat wing Vette oilpan fits in the beast? As I may be buying a new pan to fit a different block in my beast I thought I'd see what the cool OEM+ upgrade might be. I assumed the bat wing pan would help with oil starvation.
Appreciate any input.

I think the front subframe would interfere. I don't know of any oil starvation reports for the V platforms, so I wouldn't consider this to be an upgrade. Stick with what fits and make sure you maintain the proper oil level and everything should be fine.

I can't see how it would fit:


And, like BudRacing, I question the need for it.

Your picture says it all sir, appreciate it. I had access to a batwing cheap and instead of purchasing a V pan thought it might work out better for oiling and be cheaper. Clearly not the plan now.
Appreciate it all.
