Default Who makes race oil pans for an 04 GTO ?

Hi guys .
Long time reader of these forums this is my first thread , So please be easy on me .

I'm in Melbourne , Australia .
I have a 01 VX Commodore LS1 Twin Turbo .As you know simular to the 04 GTO .

Anyway to my question ,
WHo makes gated oil pans for the GTO , Preferably 8 litres .
And someone willing to freight to Australia.

I'm building a new iron block 408 to go with my current Twin Garrett turbo setup and I don't trust the standard front bulge oil pans on them.

The only option localy is made from povy tin metal and is way over priced.
Thanks in Advance

More than likely no one makes a wet sump pan for that set up. It would be a custom sheet metal fabrication job. I am sure most GTO's doing any kind of serious racing have gone to a dry sump pan.

As far as I know, Harrop is the only other company to make any type of pan kit for the GTO, Monaro, and other cars of that nature. It is dry sump, and expensive.
