SUNNY Z Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I am looking for an oil pan, and I know the most common one to use in an S30 conversion is the F body pan. However, the CTS-V pan isn't much different dimensionally. I was just wondering what kind of clearance (k member and ground) those using the JTR swap kit have. Here is a quick link to the dimensions of the pans. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/817787-lsx-oil-pans.html The quicker the reply, the better, as i located a STEAL. I might buy it just cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 It'll work, but the sump will hang about 2" below the crossmember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Well problem solved. It sold before I got to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Just to put the info out there. I'm running a c5 corvette oil pan (bat wing). It fits great. I don't have to worry about header clearance though because I'm running forward facing manifolds for a turbo.

I might see if I can use stock manifolds (or truck manifolds) for the time being, as it will be NA for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I see. I might see if I can use stock manifolds (or truck manifolds) for the time being, as it will be NA for a while. I know for sure that '98-'99 F-Body manifolds will work, done it for a customer trying to save a few bucks. I cut off the stock collector flanges and welded on a generic 3-hole for ease of making something that will bolt up to an exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do any cutting and welding to the manifolds they will be getting V-bands. I am done messing around with slip fit and tri-flange. Both are such headaches.

260DET Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) LHX do a custom cast one that looks promising for our S30 and S130 Z cars, Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LHX-Custom-Cast-GM-ls1-swap-oil-pan-conversion-LH8-ls2-/320554389641 I believe it measures 5.5" high at the back, 13" long for the thin front part which is 1.5" high but check on all that and post it up.

SUNNY Z Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 yeah, I guess you could just throw money at the problem? F-body pans can be bad for around $200, complete. That's the route that I ended up going. Those aftermarket pans are nice, If you MUST have one, but I think that's money that could be spent on something a little more prudent.

YeaJimi Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Is it rear or front sump that we need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 This thread should be a sticky to avoid noobies from starting new threads every few months about it. The '04-present C6 Corvette LS2/LS3 oil pan works nicely and has better oil control IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Cable, which windage try do you use on the LS2 with the F body pan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Cable, which windage try do you use on the LS2 with the F body pan? If you are running the F-Body pan, its best to use the matching windage tray. The truck tray can be modified to fit, but they aren't pricey enough to bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Since the LS2 came in several vehicles, Corvette, Trailblazer SS, SSR, and GTO. Of all those only the Corvette version will work properly in a S30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
