Which is it, an LS1, or a 5.3?
The LS1 would usually be the fbody pan, which itself fits decent in the truck frames.
The 5.3 has the truck style pan, and just as Longhorn said, would hang below the xmember.
The Hot Rod pan is sometimes also called the LH8 pan or the H3a pan. Its larger like the truck pan, but hangs about even with the crossmember.
The LS1 and Ls2 GTO's also had pans that fit tighter, like the Fbodies.
The 'vettes have dry sump, but if your willing to spend the $$ it can be done.
Any of the above will interchange, the biggest differences being how they hang in comparison to the crossmember, and the width/shape of the "belly" of the pan.
