Default LS1 oil pan on LS2, any issues?

I bought a used LS2 to replace my LS1 and trying so save $$$ anywhere possible. Has anyone used an LS1 oil pan on an LS2? I know the part numbers are the same for both, just wondering about the redesign. Are there any issues or problems this would create? Thanks for your help.

No problem. My 98 has an Ls2 with an LS1 pan. I'd rather have the LS2 pan though. Why don't ou want to use the LS2 pan?

No#1 reason to use your LS1 pan.

For just street driving I don't think the LS2 oil pan offers any real advantage over the LS1/LS6 one. Road racing might be a different story.

I used the C6 pan on LS1 and LS2. Dip stick, pickup tube and splash pan are all common.
