Default C1 - What LS1 Oil Pan for Street Shops Chassis

I am building a 56 with a Street Shops Chassis.

For those who are using a C1 street shops chassis, what oil pan, front runner and exhaust manifolds did you use?

Thanks,

I have an art Morrison & I believe they are similar on the front, with that in mind I installed the holley oil pan rear sump & vintage air front runner, the headers also came from Morrison.

Did you call street shop? I've talked Trey a few times & was helpful. Usually had to leave a message & he called later.

I did not buy it from Trey so was trying not to bug him too much since I am the 2nd owner but I was able to email with him, he said a LS2 Corvette pan would work but was not sure about an LS1 Corvette pan so I figured I would check around to see if I had more options.

Thanks!

are you after short tube or long tube headers? If short tube are ok, you might take a look at these. I have a set that I'm using on my 59 BelAir swap and they are stainless steel beauties. come with collectors with 0-2 bungs already installed, plus you sure can't beat the price.

oops. you beat me before I got the link in my post above. take a look at those. they are really high quality construction and look awesome. I don't see any reason they wouldn't fit your application fine.

Not a C1 or Street Shop Chassis but here is what F-Body oil pan look like in my C3 with Steeriods - should be same in C2 or C3.

Those headers look pretty nice, what size exhaust are you running on your Bel Air with those?

I'll just be running 2 1/2" all the way back, with an H pipe and "turbo" style mufflers.
