Which oil pan? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The GM muscle car pan is a great deal when you need to replace a truck pan. Unfortunately, it's not much help for gaining clearance over the truck pan. The H3/muscle car pan is just over 1/2 shallower than a truck pan (7.75" vs 8.34"). For comparison, a CTS-V pan is 7" deep, and F-Body pan is 5.62" and the Holley 302-1 is 5.71".

Here's a link to various oil pan dimensions:

And a comparison of the Holley pan to the H3 pan:
