As some of you know I learned a hard lesson with a truck pan and it being a bit low. So now it is a 408 with 243 heads, howards 625 lift 242/250 @.050. 3200 lockup converter and 3:73 gears. Truck runs reall good now and still gets mid 20's pn mpg... Just cannot beat it. Turn key and go..

I know some will never swap to an LS but I want to drive my truck, wear it out, rebuild it and drive it some more... I just cannot see saving it for someone else...
I am in the middle of the LS conversion right now. What oil pan did you use?
