Default fox mustang with ls2 oil pan? HELP!

I have a line on an ls2 "batwing" oil pan. Looking at dimensions it looks like it will be close to fitting into a fox chassis car. Anybody done this? I am running an aje k member.

ls2 comes in several different cars, there is no "ls2 oil pan"

the batwing pan is out of a corvette, the years before ls2.

Having put an fbody oil pan into a Mustang with an aftermarket 4.6 k member, I don't see how you would make a Corvette oil pan fit and still be able to run the exhaust between the frame rails and firewall.

I'd pass on the Corvette pan, but you could try it if you wanted. You will have to try it to know for sure.

I will be turbo eventually. And Brewster I specified "batwing" out of c5 I believe? Could be wrong on year. So it has never been done?

I don't have anything, wondering on buying one. I believe it came from a c5 judging by what I can see from his page. There is only one bat wing correct?

If below is the oil pan you are referring to, WHY would you want that hideous thing...

I really doubt that it will fit the fox cross member regardless of what stock or aftermarket one you use...

Turbo or no turbo, exhaust is still exhaust.

I don't see how the batwings would fit relative to the frame rails and control arms unless you cut it up and re-weld it. Then still, the batwings consume all the space where the exhaust would go.
