Ls swap oil pans
Well it's time to retire the Gen 1 sbc in favor of a built LQ 9. For those who have done this what oil pan have you used.? I have a Batwing from a 04 ZO 6 that was a gift. I am just finishing the long block buidup so all options are out there. The truck pan is way too low to even consider at this point.It will have a TKO 600 etc on the backside and a re-geared diff.

Well , since the chassis and body are separated IT.S BREAK OUT THE TIG welder and start fabbing up some 304ss headers. I'll probably be using Magnaflow.s builders kit. This is not the first time I've had to custom build a set. Thanks guys for your input . Steve.

Really? I went with the batwing and the "LS6" stock manifold and the manifold is all in the way. Could it be that it's because my LS is all the way backward to accomodate the T5 (T56/LS combo seat further to the front). I any case I'd love learn where is got my math wrong, I miss the mechanical linkage.

That was with 1" setback plates, I ended up moving the engine forward using the standard adapter plates. Plenty of room for the Z bar between the manifold and O2 sensor.
