I am swapping a lq9 6.0 in my 87 Monte Carlo SS. I did some research and saw that with a 1" set back you can use the stock Trans member lava toons and 98-02 pacesetter headers. My question is will a truck oil pan still work or do I need another pan? If so which one? And which mounts do you guys recommend? Any other headers that are long tubes work on a bidget build?

 

Use stock mounts (I used the moroso solid mounts) with 1" setback plates. May have to slot crossmember slightly (I used Iceman)

Truck pan is WAY too deep so either use the H3 pan (I used this, still hangs below the x-member some), or the F-body pan (may require clearancing), or the Holley pan (fits perfect but big $$)

Not sure on long tubes as I used manifolds. (truck on passenger side, F-body on drivers side)

Voila!

 

Can I just buy the h3 oil pan n use my baffle and pick up?

 

Get an lsa pan for $200 as it'll barely hang

 

I used the GM muscle car pan. it hangs down a little but no lower than my headers. I also used solid mounts, welded to the frame with 1" setback plates
