Don't shoot me for saying this, cause I'm not a dick. I'm just guy shedding light on a very broad subject. With all the different oil pans, and motor Mounts, mounting placements, and adapter plates, just about any oil pan can work or not work. It all depends on the sum of parts that equal the whole. Hart rod, I would love to use your ctsv oil pan but I'm trying to lay frame and the placement, the way I view it, the ctsv pan isn't for me. The holley 302-1 is my best option. My current truck pan fits, it hangs about 2 inches below the cross member. I used swaptech adapter plates, stock engine mounts, and the stock engine towers are placed in two holes closer to the radiator support. My advice Eric8 is to get the engine, buy your mounts, adapter plates, engine towers or whatever else you need and sit the engine in the engine bay. Take some time to decide where you want the engine to sit. Other things like engine and tranny position, the idea of using your old drive shaft, using the stock ac compressor will play a part in which oil pan you'll need. Eric8, there are so many variables. Eric8, be smart and think smarter. Shipping parts back & forth can be pricey.Good luck with your swap. Clark.
