Default Which windage tray?

Im putting a 6.0 in my camaro and just shelled out the $ for an f-body ls1 oil pan and pickup tube. Can i use the factory 6.0 windage tray or do I need to find one out of a ls1? Any input would be great!

you'll either have to trim the LS2 windage tray, or get one out of a camaro. I just did mine yesterday

or you can buy some washers to space it out so it will clear it.

For not more than they cost, I would just buy an F-body tray. That is unless you are trying to get it assembled today and the dealership doesn't have one.

The washers will clear the rods on a stroker application but the 6.0 long style windage tray will not clear the front raised area of the F body oil pan it will not allow the pan to sit flush to the block.

The front section of the pan is raised to clear the K frame and pushes the pan too close to the rotating assembly that some stroker setups need to clearence the pan for the #1 rod bolt so the front part of the windage tray has got to go when using a stock F body pan.
