Searching through various threads on here and ls1tech.com, the concensus seems to be that the ECE motor mounts won't work with the camaro oil pan. I knew you were using the ECE mounts and you were thinking about switching to the camaro oil pan, but I wasn't sure if you had researched it further. Judging by the image on post #21 of this thread, if there isn't more than 3 inches of gap between the truck oil pan and the crossmember, then the ECE motor mounts won't work with the camaro pan. |
Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
I got all the parts today and I'm going to do the Camaro pan swap, hopefully this will work...........

Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
Well I verified that the Camaro oil pan definitely will not work with the ECE mounts. It's about 1/2" to long back to front. I could easily modify the crossmember, but I think the Cadillac CTSV pan will work if my measurements are correct....back to the drawing board....

Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?

Here's the pictures. It's very close, but just not quite enough room.

I think this pan will work. Here's a comparison to the Camaro pan. Any thoughts out there.....??????

Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
Heres some, I think the pics will work even if your not a member.
http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f213/l...f-them-324366/ What bout the H3 pan? How far does the regular truck pan hang down too much? |

Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
I'm planning on using the Cadillac pan when I do my swap for that very reason. The truck pan hangs too low, IMO. I have an 04 GTO that I'm pulling the LS1 out of, but it's a front sump setup that definitely will not work

Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
thanks rob.....i do beleive the cadi pan will work for ya....also i think if you went with the POL mounts the camaro pan would work too....but again im not 100% positive on that...

Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
I was planning to use ECE's or S&P's. S&P sells the mounts that move the engine back an extra inch if needed

Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
Let me know if you find a decent price on the Cadillac parts. I was going to swap a guy my GTO pan for his Cadillac pan, but I think I want to hang on to the GTO pan for the time being. I have a list of part numbers for all the parts (pan, pickup tube, dipstick tube, etc) if you need it

OK, we have a winner, :). The Cadillac CTSv pan looks like it was made to go with the ECE motor mounts. It sits about 3/4" above the crossmember and has plenty of room in the front for the drag link to clear. All you need is the pan and the oil pickup tube. The windage tray from the truck works. If you got any question let me go. Another cool thing I like about it is the fact that the oil drain plug is in the rear and not on the side. Here's a few pictures.......

Where did you buy the pan?

Thanks, but I'll pass. You are asking $2 less than buying the stuff new from gmpartsdirect.com including shipping :rolleyes:

This stuff is new! I bought it Monday. I guess I got taken but, I paid $290 for everything at the dealership and that's with a business discount, (I'll be glad to show you the receipt, ;)). Oh well, maybe I'll throw it on ebay or make me an offer. |
Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
Mahanian,
Honestly, the rolled eyes weren't necessary. Like I said I paid $290 for everything and I'm sure it's going to cost at least $40 to ship. So even if I sold it for $260, I'm still out $70, about 4 hrs work, and a couple trips to the parts store. Plus, I saved you a lot of time trying to figure this out yourself. Sorry for the rant, but I don't appreciate you implying I'm trying to rip some one off. Have a good night. Rob |
Re: LS1 swap. What oil pan did you use?
Sorry Rob, I didn't mean that as a personal attack. I used the "roll eyes" emoticon guy as a "hmmm" or "deep in thought" cause that's what it always looked like to me. I've never used that little guy before and that is what I always thought it was.
