Default Difference in oil pan dimensions from L98 to LT1 ???

I there any difference? I have an m6 and I know the l98 also used the zf so I would imagine starter location and oil pan dimensions are similar if not the same?

Just wanted to double check so I know when I get my motor in the car I don't accidentally run into fitment issues if the panI got is for early l98 corvette.

So long as it is not for a real early (<'86? ) L98 with 2 pce RMS crank

1 pce RMS L98 pan is identical to LT1 pan except LT1 pan has threaded hole in drv side for oil level sensor

Correct. 1-pc RMS L98 oil pans are identical to LT1 pans except for the threaded sensor. And, that hole can be plugged for use on an L98.

Ok cool there are 3 threaded holes all on passenger side so I'd imagine it will work. I didn't want to bring the motor back over the border and get it in the car an then realize my big $ pan isn't the right one!

Fairly sure my builder would know it's a 1 pc rear main he's done several ltxs.

Thanks guys !
