Which oil pan for LS swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

trenz68 · 10-16-2009, 09:21 PM

Doing a ls motor swap on my 68 and since its bagged the regular truck oil pan hits the ground. I wanted to get a cts-v oil pan cause they are the smallest but are on national back order.

Yeah that was my first place i posted...maybe an f body pan will work

I'm using an F-body oil pan for mine. My engine came with a corvette pan (definite no go) and the truck pan hung too low for my tastes

**Hart_Rod** · 10-17-2009, 10:15 AM

What motor mounts are you using?

Arad68 · 10-17-2009, 01:23 PM

I am going to use an F-body pan.

You might try these guys

or maybe this pan although it still may hang down to far.

The FBody pan should work with those mounts, but it won't work with the ECE mounts.

I used the CTsV pan in my suburban. It worked out great. Check this link for pictures:

try a gto oil pan from 04-06

Arad68 · 10-18-2009, 01:25 PM

Try this thread at the S10 forum. It shows all of the pans for LS engines. The GTO pan is a front sump pan and will not clear the crossmember.

No... just too much financial problems for the Big 3... Still.
My Chevy dealership used to have all sorts of stuff I needed, but now it's like a ghost town in there.

mike nutt · 10-18-2009, 10:02 PM

try this http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...m=809-19212593

72WHITELIGHTNING · 10-18-2009, 10:57 PM

Will that one from GM Performance that's in the Jeg's catalog work??

1moretoy · 10-18-2009, 11:56 PM

i have a 01 f body ls1 in my 70 with s&p motor plates the stock pan fits perfect.

Rokcrln · 10-19-2009, 12:05 AM

If the one from GM/Jegs will work with a DropMember than I will need to order one right up. That price is much better than others I have seen as well.

i agree..you will be dragging a regular truck oil pan for sure

mike nutt · 10-19-2009, 05:52 AM

here's the measurement http://www.jegs.com/i/GM+Performance...12593/10002/-1 you'll have to scoll down in the window to see the measurements. the pan should fit about any installation.

72WHITELIGHTNING · 10-20-2009, 11:13 AM

I picked up an F body oil pan. But what or whose motor mounts should I use??

Custom 68 · 10-20-2009, 11:45 AM

I built all my own mounts but I am cheap... plus I did this swap 3+ years ago before it was all the rage and there was not as much available. I am using a f-body pan, I had a truck on on but like you said it hung too low for my tastes. You will need the pickup tube and baffles for the correct pan.
good luck
Dave

Robert Paul Thomas · 10-20-2009, 05:11 PM

I have a F body one in my 67, fits good, but had to cut and tig a new lower face on the pan. Scaled a set of S&P mounts out of classic truck, and made a set out of 3/8 6061 aluminum. If you don't cut the pan, it may hit the passenger side of the front crossmember.

Shon · 10-21-2009, 10:51 AM

If one wanted to run dry sump set up I have the Moroso pan, some of the lines and pump that came off an ASA LSx car. It is an incomplete set up but CHEAP.
