F-body or CTS-V pan would be shorter. The F-Body is aobut 5 1/2 deep, the CTS-V is about 6 1/2" as compared to the LQ4/9.. about 8+"

Along with any pan, the correct Windage Tray, Oil Pickup tube, Dip stick and tube should be swap to the correct one for the pan that you are using.

The F-body windage tray is shorter (3/4). Most others have full trays.
