Will oil pan on truck motor be to low on lowered truck

[lowlyfec10]

ctsv and ls1 fbody pans are your best bet if super low or bagged. i have an fbody setup coming in monday so i can finally bolt my motor in. only thing is people want blood for used fbody pans. -_____- you can buy it new for $200 online (new gasket and bolts) and people want 200 for just a used pan by itself! gtfoh. got mine for 175 shipped and that has a new gasket and lokar dipstick

but im using cpp sheetmetal stands, poly mounts, and sliders......the truck pan hangs about 1-1.5" below the xmember

CTS-V with windage tray, pick up tube and dipstick - $179

To be fair, they designed their mounts so that you could use the stock A/C compressor in the factory location.

These mounts work great with the truck oil pan and BBC perches.
My oil pan sit level with my crossmember.

What's a good oil pan for a basic work truck? I'd rather not have it hang way down... but more oil capacity is better. It might end up 4WD eventually.

Went with the Cadillac pan($125 ebay) and ebay slider mounts, dropped 5.5 in the front plenty of clearance. My buddy also used Cadillac pan with ece mounts his sits even higher.

cts pan should work fine

I'd like to see a comparison of the CTSV pan vs the F-body pan...

Sounds to me like the LH8 hot rod pan still hangs down pretty low for a dropped truck.

And, if I understand correctly, the F-body pan hits the crossmember if your motor is too far forward.?

Does the CTSV pan correct that and how much oil does it hold.?

Hi kitsbeach, i used the f body pan, used the organ donor 2001 mounts, and made my own perches. I can barely sneak my little pinky between the front of the pan and the crossmember. The f body pan is the thinnest up front and my pan sump is about 3/4 inch above the lowest part of the crossmember so it's protected. When i mocked up my swap years ago i wanted to try and use the stock fanclutch/ 68 fan shroud/ 2001 hd radiator and it all worked out. This way i can source stock parts if needing replacement. My little pinky can't fit between the tips of the fan blade and the inside of the fan shroud but they never rub.

I'm with you on using stock style parts.! Especially helpful on a road trip.! Or if you don't want your truck off the road.!
