Doing a ls1 swap in a 3rd Gen Camaro, what oil pan can I use besides the stock ls1 fbody oil pan. Can I use the lh8 out of the hummer? Thanks.

not sure it will clear the crossmember and if it does it will hang way below.

Pretty sure that the LH8 will fit, but will hang done below the Crossmember pretty far.. I wouldn't use it.

CTS-V would be a bit better. Check the FAQ Sticky on Oil pans.

If you are looking after aftermarket, Cast = Holley or MAST.

There are many Steel pan also, take a look at the Autokraft pan, it has the oil filter in the OEM location.

Just get the F body pan. None of the other pans fit or clear the k member.

i used the stock fbody pan for my swap with 1 inch setback plates and the factory clamshells. i had to notch the subframe about 3/8 inch for a little extra clearance. the holley pan is too deep on the front of the pan unless you raise up the engine and this will add a big pain in your *** trying to set your driveline angles. i think if you use the mast pan you can run your exhaust in the factory location. i am running a 4l60e and had to put a c notch in my frame rails in order to have any exhaust clearance.

I used the stock ls1 fbody pan, trimmed the back of the crossmember to clear the oil pan, also used mounts from hawks so i could run a/c.

I was going to say the same thing in that many people have to clearance the back of the K-member for oil pan clearance even with the f-body pan. I am running a BMR tubular k-member with a f-body pan on my swap, but it is not finished yet.

I too notched my k-member for clearance and it turned out great. I was even able to put the engine/trans together in from the top.

Some other pans may clear, but the problem is they all hang way too low. F-body pan is the right and best choice.

I used a regular truck pan with 1 1/2 removed. Hangs slightly below the crossmember.

LS1NOVA with the truck pan how did you remove 1 1/2"? I want do this and was just wondering how you did it.
Thanks,

F-body pan and k-member notch. Went in from the top.

You don't get a much better fit than the 4th gen F-body.



Moved the mounts back approx. 1/2" & did not have to clearance the crossmember for the pan.
