What would be the best stock oil pan to use on a swap? I am not looking for clearance, im looking for fuction with out oil starvation problems. I have all the room in the world, and the crossmember can be trimmed if needed. Car will be mostly drag but driven to work on nice days. Looking for inexpensive. F body, lsa, ctsv?

If you are concerned about clearance to the ground any of those mentioned are reasonable. Truck pan is 3" deeper or so.
I like the Holley 302-2.
I'd engine has dod or vvt then you might want to find a stock one with the pressure relief. If you are in warm climate quite possibly the valve isn't necessary.

Without seeing your situation, late model C5 wetsump pan. I used it in my Rambler swap and the sump (4 3/4" deep) actually sits above the crossmember. This dwg shows 5", but it tapers down as you move forward...

Dimensions mean nothing to me at this point. I am asking for oil control purposes. If a tbss pan fit dimensionally, I would be silly to put it on for what I have the car for. I am on a tighter budget and I would like to find a good stock pan.

Thank you, anyone can say "look at pan dimensions here". Any oil control issues?

I see you went back and edited your original post after a few replies. Glad we no longer need ESP to see what your primary concern was. Don't think "oil control" will be an issue with any factory pan on on a street car with a few occasional drags...

Have you looked at the GM 5 quart pan P/N 19212593? $150 at Summitt.

I've read a bunch of stuff on stock f body pans having oil issues on hard launches at the track. So this is why the thread was created. But I keep getting dimension replies. Maybe I should try the drag section.

Look up "Coleman Roddy", a friend just saw him run an 8.64 with a 1.17 60 ft time (at Evadale, TX) in a normally aspirated Gen IV F-body...

you can always add an accusump for not much $ if you are worried about it.

As stated above I don't think you will have any oiling issues with any rear sump pan. Not sure what you've heard about the F body, but I've seen some damn fast F body cars and cars using f body pans with no issues at all.

They wouldn't sell baffles if oil pans didn't have oil problems.

Guess you ought to nut up and go dry-sump, that way you won't be worrying about it...
