Well Guys im Back so after a brief jump into the wonderful world of DSM's (Eagle Talon) and selling my truck (i know stupid) im back with a new mission. just picked up a 93 gmc jimmy 2 dr 4x4 gonna lower it, swap a bravade t case, build a 6.0, a 60e and see how she goes, has anyone done this swap (lsx and 4x4) what pan do i need? stock truck pan work?? and will the truck intake clear the stock hood? im goin for sleeper on this truck..
THere's a few done, also a couple of Syclones and Typhoons also. No a stock pan doesn't work , the front diff is in the way, you can modify a pan to work though. Here's a good read, might help you out.:

The oil pan will be the only issue you can't buy a part for, I've got to do the same modification in my build. Here's a picture from a clean sy/ty LSX conversion I found awhile back. Should give you an idea of what's involved.
I'll bet the AWD bug got ya while you were playing with DSM
I understand, I've had the same thing happen driving my wife's last 2 subaru's.

im seeing one major issue with the swap. i found a kit that allows you to run the stock lh8 pan but then you have to install a 2 inch body lift, my intentions were to lower the truck as much as possible so i dont really like that idea however it would save me about 300 bucks vs buying a custom swap pan. i dont know if there is much of an alternative tho. im not to keen on dropping the front end either, might just have to spend the money on that custom pan any ideas?

if i use the solid RPM Mounts and custom make my own pan will the stock driveshafts still work properly or will spacers be needed? also im going to be running a built 60e and mount it up to a bravada T Case so i will have AWD, i dont want to do a body lift tho im avoiding that at all costs HELP lol

Not sure how much more of a drop can be had there with the stock torsion bar set-up, but it doesn't look like the drive shafts will be the issue.
Also a tip to save some $$$ when you go looking for your t-case, don't just limit your search to st/ty's and bravadas. Include astro vans and safari vans as well, a good chunk of them came from the factory with the same AWD.
The BW 4472 is the one that you're looking for, but the BW 1372 is almost identical and much easier to get on the cheap. Alot of guys will argue that the BW 1372 is weaker, which may be true. But GM did put the BW 1372 in every Syclone they made. How weak can it really be?
Almost all of these t-cases past 1994 have BW 1372 cast into the rear case half, since they are the same in either model. Look for the brass colored metal plate held down by the split line bolts on the bottom, that is the data plate that tells you which t-case you have.
Hope all this helps you plan out your build

Any chance you have another link? A pre-made pan would sure be nice.
