just cause these engines have been known to have oiling issues with high lateral gs, and at steep angles.

I used an improved racing baffle in my f-body pan.

thats badass though

Thats the problem your using an F body pan. From what I've read on here there are several people having no problem using the stock truck pan and have no loss of oil preasure on extreme angles. I have seen no problems yet personally. Knock on wood! lol

Thanks this is turning out to be a blast.

Bowtie What kind of mileage are you getting? I put a 5.3 LM7 in a 88 YJ running 4L60E with 4:10 gears running 33's and I am seeing about 14. I bought the HP tuner and I am working trying to get the mileage up better than where it is. I will say that it is a blast to drive.

No offense but 22 mpg with 38" tires /4:10 gears and no OD trans?

What rpm at 60 mph?

I agree it's a great swap.
