Re: Which oil pan?
I'm running an Fbody pan with a modified truck windage tray. My truck is fairly low, however the shallow fbody piece gives plenty of ground clearance and is well above the crossmember.

Re: Which oil pan?
Does anybody have comparison measurements or pictures to compare the F body and CTSV pans? If the CTSV pan is about the same as the Holley pan I may go with it instead.

Re: Which oil pan?
You guys can keep your factory pans I'm using the Moroso Pan: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mor-20142 because it offers 7 quarts and the usual standard baffles and trap doors. I'm future proofed to build a big inch engine too.

Re: Which oil pan?
Won't the fbody create a possible clearing issue as it will be closer to the crossmember? I am at work right now but IIRC my oil pan is very close to the crossmember and my LS engine sits in the same place as the SBC. You can gain clearance if the engine sits a few inches back though.

I would recommend the Holley pan. It may be more money, but I love it. Just be sure of which one you need. I ended up installing the 302-1 at first and then found out I had an interference issue with my cross member and had to go to the 302-2. Fortunately, I was able to return the 302-1 to Summit. You need to understand though that my chassis is a custom chassis with rack and pinion. The 302-1 hit my rack and pinion and there was no way to know that ahead of time.
Don't be scared by the windage tray modifications either. They are no big deal. The 302-2 pan requires more windage tray modification, which I didn't want to do, so I bought the right windage tray (PN 12558253) from Summit for $24. The 302-1 windage tray mod is easy. If you go to Holley's web site they even tell you what windage tray you need and what oil dipstick to use. Lots of info at their web page. Here is the comparison between the 302-1 & 302-1 pan. Also a picture of my LS3 with the 302-1 installed first. |

Here are pictures of the Holley pan install with windage trays. The first picture is of the windage tray for the 302-1. Second one is with the 302-2 windage tray.
The windage tray for the 302-2 needs to be cut, while the 302-1 has a minor mod around the pick up tube bolt. That's why I just bought the proper windage tray for the 302-2. |

You can see I had a clearance issue with my rack and pinion with the 302-1 by the first picture. I had to go with the 302-2 (2nd & 3rd pics) in order to get the proper clearance for my rack.

Here's a couple pictures of my chassis and LS3 with the 302-1 installed. You can see I had a lot of clearance until I installed the rack and pinion. Again, I would buy the Holley pan. You will not be disappointed.

Re: Which oil pan?
I think I'm going with the Holley 302-1. I was thinking the 301-2 would be better for me because of the very shallow front end but I'm concerned about the 9.84 inch fore and aft length of the sump may hit my cross member. I think the 302-1 front depth of 2.42" and sump measurement of 7.65" should work in my truck.
Thanks everyone for the help! It really makes a difference! Jim |

Re: Which oil pan?
Bring up an old thread trying to find an answer. When running he Holley 302-2 pan can you run the stock dipstick and dipstick tube, or do you have to use a different dipstick set (and if so which one?)?
|
Re: Which oil pan?
The Holley® LS Swap oil pans are designed to work with an LS3 dipstick and tube (if desired). Below are the part numbers: LS Dipstick – GM P/N 12634547 LS tube – GM P/N 12625031
I copied the above from the Pan instructions. When I did mine, I cross referenced them to Dorman part numbers and bought those instead of the GM. |
