the GM Muscle pan is a LH8 / Hummer pan. still hangs pertty low... if you can make it work for you, then it is a good deal for the price.

If you are doing a fairly stock or mild LS transplant, then cutting/sectioning a stock oil pan will work just fine and is certainly cheaper than some of the aftermarket pans. If you plan to push some rpms or need some extra oil capacity for say a couple turbos, then I would suggest adding oil volume (aftermarkets pan) vs reducing volume (cutting stock pan). Lots of different options - choose which way fits your goals.

Old thread but I'm bringing back to life. I have a 69, just test fitted my lq4/4l80 yesterday. I have the stock fbody pan and the centerlink touches just before full lock. I'm using the hooker plates. I'm pretty sure I can make this setup work without notching the pan

The pan with the modified GM baffle installed, you can see how much the pan was cut, and the baffle was shortened, the S&Ps pan is cut, I would say another 2 inches,

Default 69 Camaro oil pan

I cut and sectioned a GM Hummer pan. Fits nice and should still hold enough oil.

Not sure but maybe the slightly longer 67 idler and pitman will give you the clearance you need to clear the pan with the hooker plates. I know a couple guys have done that here and they clear the stock F body pan without cutting. Classic has the 67 idler for $49.00, cheapest I found anywhere...

Check out the Retro LSX oil pan otherwise your pan may be the first thing that hits the speed bump.

I bought it for my A body project but am looking at going a different route on the pan. It seems like it was $399.
