Cool Gen V L83 oilpan

Hello, im looking arround and i can't find any resonable front sump oilpan for a L83?
Do any have a idea where to look or do i have to make my own? The LOJ one is nice but im not paying 1500$ +25% taxes in my country for it...

Its gooing on a 1973 ranchero, it original have steering behind crossmember, that makes so i can't run a rear sump. ill post some pictures.

Thanks, but the LS4 do not fit a LT(L83). There's countless LS based front sump but none for the LT

I have a L84 in my Lemans. I noted that it would not be that difficult to mod to a front sump configuration.

I would just mod a stock pan. I assume shearing, forming and welding aluminum is still a thing in Denmark?

My guess is yes - I would trim off a small, non-essential piece and have a shop test weld it for you.

Prob easier to modify the K-member and steering rod to accept the pan you have VS making a pan. on a similar setup I just welded on some 4" spacers on the steering shaft, then cur the center out.

Or move to a front mount rack.
