What is the best oil pan to use when installing a LSX in a '89 Caprice? I have the stock truck oil pan on the engine now. Would try to avoid having to modify the pan or car, as I don't have good access to a welding machine. Is there a pan that will fit without mods? If the pan sits a little low, it doesn't matter that much, I'm used to german cars where the oil pan is the lowest point on the car..

Camaro pan is just above bottom of crossmember. Chk pan depth before buying the ctsv pan.

I think the hummer h3 oil pan is your best bet. That's what most people who have done that swap are using.

Hummer pan is 2.5 inches deeper than camaro. With a th400 trans jacked up it hit floorboard, hummer pan still hangs below crossmember been there, measured it and went camaro pan.

Holley pan fits perfect in a A-body. The truck pans will hang way to low.
