95 Impala motor mount/oil pan issue
 

Im helping put a L92 in a 95 Impala. We are using the dirty dingo mounts in the link below. The engine is so low that the front of the oil pan is laying on the k member. Dirty dingo says a different pan may be needed. Need to hear from someone who has done this and what pan they used. Please help, thanks

Are you using the pan that came with the motor? The truck pan won't fit many applications except maybe some trucks. As far as I know, everyone swaps the pan for something shallower.

yes still have the truck pan on it. Is a fbody pan shallower in the front? I know the back is obviously different but not sure on the front half

Yes the front of the f-body pan is shorter..........truck pan is 2 3/8 and the f-body is 1 3/8..

you also have the GMPP (Hummer) pan, and the Holley LS pan to pick from. Holley is the most popular but very expensive. I have the Hummer pan and I had to raise my engine some to be sure it would have clearance....however most people don't have this issue

You need to do some research to complete or even start a swap.. else you run into issue like this and it can be more costly to 2nd guess yourself and blindly just do a swap..

Suggest you research the Oil Pan FAQ/Sticky and get the measurement and go forward then..

I Suggest a F-Body pan if that clears or just go to a Swap pan like the Holley 302 pans (-1 or -2). And avoid any clearance issue below.

Im using these mounts....

Was able to use the fbody oil pan and stock 96 transmission in the stock location, which meant no crossmember and driveshaft changes or mods...
