Grandpa 1 0 Posted July 15, 2015 Ok so now I'm even more confused on which oil pan to use. Putting a 4.8 l and will be going with a 700 r4 tranny. It's going in my 75 280z. Probably JCI mounts unless anyone can suggest a better set up. Looks like there are several oil pan options? F body , GTO, corvette. What's everyone running?

JoeK 2 Posted July 15, 2015 Most people are running F-body pans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu240z 12 Posted July 30, 2015 C6 pan gives more clearance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebekahsZ 106 Posted July 31, 2015 I run a F-body pan and a Quicktime bell housing. I ran off the track a couple weeks ago and jumped across some corner curbing as I spun out of control. There are scratches on my bellhousing, but none on my oil pan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba280 0 Posted July 31, 2015 I just ordered an f-body oil pan for mine. From what I've read it should give good clearance. I went with Jci mounts myself. Price wise I really wanted to go with dirty dingo mounts but not enough info for me to be happy with. Have to say I'm glad I did! John is easy to deal with, answered emails fairly quick, and no problem answering any questions. Shipped them out Tuesday and showed up here in t-town Thursday. If only the local parts houses had that kind of service my job would be a lot easier! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebekahsZ 106 Posted July 31, 2015 If you plan to drag race, spend $600 and get a good racing driveshaft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUNNY Z 12 Posted August 9, 2015 I just ordered an f-body oil pan for mine. From what I've read it should give good clearance. I went with Jci mounts myself.

If only the local parts houses had that kind of service my job would be a lot easier! The baffling and ground clearance of the F body pans are both inferior to the LS3 vette pan. If you upgrade the baffle in the F body pan with an improved racing, that pretty much cures it ($$$). It still hangs an inch lower however. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zdlite 10 Posted August 17, 2015 That LS2 vette pan was supposed to be the next great thing when it first came out. It has internal baffling that was said to be a huge improvement over the earlier LS1/Fbody stuff. Somewhere along the line the pan got a bad rep for oil starvation in hard turns. Opinions vary I've run one for 8 years now. It came with the crate motor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stock Car Mafia 1 Posted October 18, 2015 It looks like the LS3 pan is fool proof for an LS swap. This is probably what I'll end up using. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
socorob 5 Posted October 19, 2015 Keith, what quicktime bellhousing did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebekahsZ 106 Posted October 20, 2015 I think the part number is RM-8020. I also added the "window modification." This bellhousing needed to be indexed, as the locating dowel holes were off by quite a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stock Car Mafia 1 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) For those using a LS2 out of a GTO, my notes on what parts you will need are listed down below. I purchased them from GM Parts Direct and within a couple days, they had my package ready to be shipped: Part Numbers - Oil pan:12624617 276.95 Pickup tube:12624497 32.71 Windage tray:12558189 17.21 - The GTO uses this tray, so you won't need to purchase this. Dip stick:12570788 12.64 Dip stick tube:12570787 12.59 Pickup tube o-ring:12557752 3.87 - The Pickup tube comes with a red O-ring (#12584922) and should be used instead of this. Gasket:12612350 25.63 - The oil pan comes with a gasket so this is not needed. Edited November 1, 2015 by Stock Car Mafia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebekahsZ 106 Posted November 1, 2015 The GM dipsticks look like flag poles. Consider using a Lokar LS dipstick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stock Car Mafia 1 Posted November 1, 2015 That looks leaps and bounds better than the OEM stick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stony 13 Posted November 26, 2015 LS3 C6 pan. found a complete kit on ebay for around 400. it had everything, windage, gasket, hardware. Basically everything you need to install. The baffling is really good considering its a stock pan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stony 13 Posted November 26, 2015 Here is a pick of the pan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stock Car Mafia 1 Posted November 27, 2015 I wonder if there are a couple different versions of pickup tubes that can be used. I see a blue O-ring on yours. Can you verify if the o-ring seat is tapered or straight? I used a red O-ring with mine and it fit nice and snug in the oil pump, so I know it is the right one.

stony 13 Posted November 30, 2015 That was the pic from where I bought it. forgot to take pics. Came with instructions and 2 different o rings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
