LS1 vs. LQ4 windage tray I know the LS1 windage tray is shorter due to the LS1 oil pan bing shallower.
I am going to be swapping a LQ4 into an Fbody, given that I already have a LS1 oil pan and pick up tube, could I simply cut the LQ4 windage tray with a grinder down to the proper LS1 length? I don't know if the LS1 pickup tube will still be able to bolt up properly or not...
Help is much appreciated, thanks.

I never said there is anything wrong with the LS1 windage tray, I just don't have one. I need to fine one, along with a LS1 pick up tube that I thought I had... I have a pan, that's it.

It doesn't really matter now, I found a LS1 windage tray and used that.

Yes, you can cut the front off IOT fit the pan.

It's an easy assumption to make, worded as it is. I stand corrected....
