Moroso oil pan

^ You could probably measure the height for the sensor and find a nut for it or something and take it to a shop to have them weld it in.
Or find a resistor for the oil level sensor to "fool" it.

I ran into this when I had my LT1 car, with a Steffs pan.
I bought some hex aluminum stock and the needed tap and made my own nut. Then I had a shop weld it on. I still have the leftover stock and the tap.
Guess I'll hafta do it again-when I get this pan.
How hard is a pan swap in the car?
I'm gonna put the oil filter where the A.I.R pump was and a cooler up front.

Do you use 6 quarts to establish the mark, or some lower amount to keep the low oil indicator from going off too frequently? How much oil is in the pan with the engine running?

I've been thinking about this. It might be better to measure the distance from the center of the sensor hole on the original pan to the gasket rail and make the new one at the same measurment.

This would be the best way to establish where the sensor goes. Can't trust the advertised capacities on aftermarket pans. Some state total capacity including the oil filter volume.
