The CTS-v pan works quite well on my Chevelle and the frames should be quite similar. I did have to raise my my engine some but only for the power steering pulley not pan clearance.

I only had to use spacers for the p/s pulley. There are pictures of it in my car in my thread. Plenty of room.

The A-Body crossmember isn't as wide from front to rear as the B-Body one, that with the slope of the pan may cause issues. Did you ever check for tie rod end distance/interference like I said Harry?

I meant with the pan that you currently have. Did you ever measure lock to lock from the tie rods to the current pan?

You be bs-in man. I told you that 3 months ago.....



Well 2 weeks ago lol. There is a 3/4" difference between the depth at the front of the pans, that may cause an issue. That also may be why the BRP mounts are so high.

Default Pan Compare

Here is a picture of both the F-body (draft notch) and the CTS-V, You can compare the slope from front to rear of the CTS-V and how much deeper it is compared to the F-Body.. using a H3/Muscle pan would be anothe 1" or so deeper.
