_X_ Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hello I am looking at getting a ls1 Moroso 7qt oil pan. The specs say 6' depth which is a tiny bit taller than a f body oil pan. (f body is 5.62 and moroso is 6) My question is if anyone has any issues with ground clearance using the stock f body oil pan and jci mounts. I dont plan on lowering my car too much but I would like some leeway in case I want to lower the car more in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240z72 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have the stock f body pan and with jci mounts its about a inch and a half below the front crossmember. I would not get anything taller then the f body pan. I want to get a c5 rear sump pan as i can save about an inch. Unless you mod the jci mounts or build your own. Ground clearance is an issue. I scrapped a speedbump today and about crapped my pants lol. Goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Why are speed bumps called speed bumps? Shouldn't they be called slow bumps? Or crap your pants bumps? I hit mine almost everytime I race due to rutted return tracks. If you buy that pan, keep stock ride height or taller. I'm raising my car since doing the swap. And custom mounts won't help unless you cut out the tranny tunnel and do something special there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfan1 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 My 240 is not lowered and I too am looking at options for oil pans. I can go LS2 Corvette or Fbody LS1 pan, maybe even custom but damn they are pricey!!! I will be dropping the motor in over the next two weeks so I'll post up how it goes.....wish me luck!

JMortensen Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Kevko. They have a standard item 5" sump (same as LS2) and I just custom ordered a 4" sump which still holds 5 qts. $325 for the pan and $55 for the pickup. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/110966-please-post-photo-of-ls-oil-pan-protectionguarding/?p=1041243 Edited February 16, 2013 by JMortensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_X_ Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 The 5 " Kevko pan looks nice and I want it but it appears as though having one with a kick out on it would interfere with a set of long tubes. Hoping Im wrong tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Their part number "LS 103-5" pan doesn't have kickouts. My pan doesn't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
