Default LS3 sumps

Hi
Been thinking of changing my 1998 ls1 for a new ls3. Does the LS1 corvette sump fit the Ls3 block. Engine in a AC cobra which i use in the UK Time attack series. So oil surge isnt a option.


427 cobra ls1 T56

You will also need to swap on the accompanying LS1 windage tray and oil pickup. If you can fit the LS3 pan in your Cobra chassis, it's a much better pan for oil control than the LS1 pan.

At least for F and Y body the pickup tube and deflector have been the same LS1,6,2,3.

Ah, missed the mention of his corvette sump in the 1st post. Yes, the pickup and tray from the LS3 can be used with the '98 corvette pan.
