Different oil pan?

Are there any other oil pans that will fit a 2002 LS1? I have clearance problems on my front cross member and was hoping on a simple swap.

There are a bunch of oil pans that will bolt on. It depends exactly where you need more room. The truck (4.3/5.3/6.0L) oil pans will bolt on but the sump is ~ 3" deeper than the f-body. The GTO pan is a front sump and will bolt on. The vette pan bolts on but it doesn`t fit many cars. Check out the pics in the sticky`s.

I need room in the front. I need to move my engine forward and the current pan will hit the cross member. I put an LS in my 61 Impala. Sounds like the truck pan would help (what's sticky's?)

The stickys are at the top of the page in the conversions and hybrids forum. I was specifically talking about this one https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-swaps/409614-ls7-oil-pan-compared-f-body-oil-pan.html On page 2 there are some dimensions, there are also links on page 1.
