I'm thinking of putting a 6.0L truck motor into an 84 S10. I have all of the big
parts, but I wanted to get a heads up on the conversion roadbumps.
Does anyone know how low the truck oil pan will be?
How many inches below the k-member?
How many inches need to be trimmed from the back of the k-member?
The truck is low, I might need to go with a f-body oil pan.
How many inches below the k-member will the pan be?
How many inches need to be trimmed from the back of the k-member?

when I look at doing this I was going to have to run an F-body pan because of ground clearence my S10 is full drop and I was going to have to remove the bulk of the crossmember I was acually thinking of making my own boxed X-member and running a manual rack but decided to put it in a third gen camaro instead

im doing the swap now in my '91. The truck pan sits about 1" (if that) below the crossmember, not critical for me because i dont run a low truck. I cut a 2"x 10" section out of the cross member and its was overkill.
