Warning.. the CTS-V pan will hang below the Cross member around 1". If you have a lowered Chevelle.. you are going to be bottoming out on it.. You will be scraping on speed bumps, pot holes and anything that sticks up.
I when back to a Notch F-Body pan and not switching to a Holley 302-2 pan. That is my recommendation..

Yeah.. Since I was putting a new line in and using a Adjustable P-Valve.. I was able to move and bend the lines enough to removing the OEM Valve away from the Headers.
I Just notched my F-Body pan some.. but not as much as a normal S&P notch.. Here is a picture of it as compared to a CTS-V Pan
I only notch enough to clear, I didn't have to mod the pick up, but the baffle around it only.
The ones without the four bosses on the side are the earlier CTS-V, without the oil cooler. I had two that I brought back then that were pull off from Roy Brizio (he replaced them with F-Body for some rosders he was building) and I sold one to Phil at BRP Hot Rods. He used it to build the install kits he markets

I went the CTS pan way and its about 3/4" on my setup. I am hoping with good suspension it will improve my chances of not hitting it. Time will tell and I will cross that bridge when that happens.
Has anyone tried to shorten up a CTS-V pan?

Verdad Gallardo bczee I really dont want to chop the frame and my car is not lowered yet.I also I have the LS book which there are pics you produced. Great job.What about the pan with the bosses..can they be milled off?
Ebay has used pans for almost the price of a new pan,Il probably get a new pan. As far as cutting the frame to install a F pan that is out of the question on my car. The frame and body is mint and if I decide to put a traditional engine back in it I can without hacking the car up.
I think you should have your answer on the removal of the bosses.. but yes you should be ok...
