Default Oil Pan Height differences

Hello,
Was curious if anyone knows the difference in height at the front of the LS1 oil pan between a Camaro and the truck pan? I've looked at the two but not side by side. just trying to get an idea for clearance.
Thanks

best thing I can find real quick is this. http://www.enginepartsplus.com/pdf/G...20Hardware.pdf

If i were you I would try searching for something in the conversions section. I seem to remember a post with all the dimensions spelled out. cant find it though.

Edit: just scroll down until you see the oil pans. its more than half way down.

Thanks for the great help guys,.... as best I can tell the two oil pans look identical?

Think you could measure the height of the front of the pan?
I thought they would be different..

Thats awesome, Thanks! that is exactly what i was looking for!
Looks like I could use the extra 1.25" of clearance in the front, didnt know it was that big of a difference.
thanks again.
