I can try to get you some pictures of the Holley pan in our '88 SS when I get a chance. Can't tell you much from a performance standpoint since we haven't got the car running yet though.

Here are the pics Monte. Sorry some of them are dark but it should give you an idea. Keep in mind these are using the BRP Mounts...







With a straight edge on the crossmember, the sump of the pan sits about 1/2" above the crossmember.

I believe it was around 350 when we bought it but I don't remember exactly. Holds 6 quarts with filter.

This car has the Holley pan on an LY6. I am pretty sure that it's no lower than the cross member.

Pan comes with the pickup tube. Requires use of LS3 dipstick (GM P/N 12634547) and tube (GM p/n 12625031) (taken from holley website)

Also, here are the install instructions.http://holleyparts.net/data/Products...R10566rev2.pdf
It will require a new windage tray unless you want to cut yours up to make it fit

I'm running the CTS-V pan, I had to notch the cross member, but I hang as far down as the Holley Pan. I'll try to get pics tonite.

I guess it's the way the Cradle is shaped in these cars..I use the same pan in my S10 and the bottom of that H3 Pan is flush with the Cradle..

H3 and the GM Muscle Car Pan are the same thing, the Holley shows the difference in the pics..and from what I've read about $200 more easily.
