Default Help with oil pan

I am putting a ls6 from 05 ctsv in our grand sport replica. I am totally new to the LS world and we use the car for auto cross Nd track days. I want to keep it a wet sump and the caddy pan is too deep for ground clearance.
What pan would you recommend?
Thanks
Jeff

2pc batwing pan would be fine. Even a 1pc batwing would suffice.
I used a 1pc pan with no problems for 3 years.

GM.
You can pick them up pretty cheap here on the forum.

Not sure if this link will help but street and performance has done a lot of swaps and they have a lot of different info on this page. If you look at the drop down menu under LS2 they have various oil pan measurements - one link has GTO, F-body and Caddy - another has the C6 LS2 pan. Hope this helps.
