Do I need a different oil pan?

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

What motor mounts did you use on your swaps? I am using the clamshell style with mine. Right now my pan hangs below the crossmember about 1-3/4- 2".

I made my own mounts, so that a truck pan is only about an inch below the crossmember, which put the muscle car pan flush. If you're that far below ir, then the muscle car pan may still hang down 3/4" or so.

Yep, I measured it today. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the CTS pan setup. Damn, I wasn't wanting to drop that much cash on an oil pan. I've bought complete engines for less....
thanks for the help.
