Does andbody know if I change the oil pan on my 5.3 to one in the link, will I be able to run the stock engine cross member in my 4x4 k5?

I dont think any of the LS pans will fit the factory crossmember, its just too narrow. You either have to modify it or replace it. Do a search and you'll see some threads on your options...

Thanks for the info that one is definitely in my price range.

I, essentially, used a cross member from a '73+ 4x4 with clam shell mounts and an AA adapter. It works great.
