I have a truck pan on my c10 now. looking to possibly bag it with the stock cross member. Will this F Body pan work for it? The one now hangs below the cross member quite a bit. Out of town or I'd go measure how much.

If it will work, let me know how much and if it comes with everything I'd need to hook it up. I may be interested!

Which Holley pan did you end up with? I'm installing my DMs and need to swap pans as well. Did you do the 302-1 or the 302-2?

I used the Holley 302-2 pan. Check out my posts beginning with #35. I posted several pictures and comparisons. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=685258&page=2

Thanks Dan, that is great info in your link. My real question though was which pan would work better with the specific cross member hes running. I'm kind of leaning towards the 302-1 as it has 2 more inches of room for the cross member front to back but I'm still on the fence.

Thanks for your insight though!

Running the 302-2 here with Nates dropmember. Plenty of room.

My frame in these pics is about an inch off the ground. Only due to my hitch safety rings hitting the ground first.

As you can see there is plenty of clearance with the pan both up front and in the rear.

Let me know if you have any additional questions on this pan.

This also shows that the fbody pan works fine too, as others have stated.

From your pics it looks like you're running a GSI front suspension. Scott @ GSI told me to use the Holley 302-1 pan. Did you end up using that pan? I've heard you have to slightly modify the windage tray. Did you have to do that?

Thanks
