I have a 78 camaro that I had a LS1 in and now installing a LS3. The LS3 pan dont clear the cross member so i went to put the LS1 pan on it and now it hits the pickup tube up front. So whats the quick fix would the LS1 pickup tube work or will I have to mod the new pan,not wanting to do that real bad. Is there a aftermarket pan that I could buy?

Seems as the lowers profile pan is the 98-02 f-body.
Get the entire pan, pickup & windage tray.
New is somewhere around $250 for all.
As an FYI... I just did this & found somehing interesting when I went to buy an oil filter.
It seems my new 98-02 pan came with the oil filter fitting that fits the LS3 filter(ACPF48) & not the correct LS1 filter (ACPF46).
