Early X-mas! 6.0 L96+6L90

[jrdv]

I bit the bullet and bought this today. It is out of a 2011 2500 2wd with 19,000 mi. It will be going in my 71 chev swb.

I need to start gathering parts. The place I bought it from didn't know which oil pan I needed, but said to find out and they would get me one at cost.

So, first question. What oil pan? I have seen people using an F body pan, ctsv caddy pan, summit pans, etc.

My truck has a 4/6 drop with 18/20 wheel combo.

What is the best?

Thanks in advance for the many questions I will be asking.

Ctsv for me fit perfect bottom of pan was about 1/4 inch above crossmember. My truck is also 4/6.

Does the year matter? Did you buy new or used? Cost?

Thanks

I checked into that earlier. It only covers 6.0 up to 2009. I can't find any other info on the 2011 as far as oil pan swaps go. I don't know for sure if there are any differences.

Thanks for the input!

I put a '02 5.3L truck pan on a '11 6.2L LS3 a few months back, Worked great.
The list is not complete.
Not sure on AFM (active fuel management) engines though, Does the L96 have AFM?

That's gonna be pretty sweet!

I am using a 98 corvette pan. Seems to be the only one that doesn't even come close to hanging down below the K member.

I'm using ece mounts with electric fans. I don't think it will clear manual fan. When using these mounts with the trans crossmember all my factory holes lined up. Since this is my dd I chose the Holley hooker ls manifolds didn't want to deal with headers even though the thorleys are awesome plus the hookers were cheaper and fit like a glove. Just wanted to share a little info from my recent conversion

How much was the motor and trans?

[mooseknuckles]

hope this helps.... Im running the gm muscle car pan it's shallower than the stock truck pans by 1 1/2". I'm guessing the f-body pans are close to the same as the holley pan...

HartRod, can you advise on which dirty dingo mounts you ordered? I'm getting ready to do the same thing, and I see a few different kinds...but it looked like the cut off was 73-87, and everything else was muscle car or other vehicle-specific (miata, 240sx, etc.)

Here are the ones I'm looking at:

Any I will probably use the CPP motor stands, unless the factory ones will work.

What are you going to be doing for a shifter column since this is a six speed.

Thanks Clyde......

I really wasn't fast on the 4x4.
It has been 2 years since I pulled the original motor!

I did paint the firewall, radiator support, inner fenderwells, and put on a new brake booster and master cylinder, new steering column and wheel, new wireing harness, and new motor!

I hope to get started on the LS swap soon!

Nice shop and builds! I'm looking foward to seeing this ls swap some together.

Could you two, jrdv and Hart_Rod, please get a move on we want to see how this story plays out!
