Musclecar oil pan or CTS-V oil pan?

[samckitt]

Gonna start buying parts for my LS swap & wondering which fits better, GM Musclecar or CTS-V oil pan? Musclecar one is cheaper but wondering if the sum is still too low.

THanks

Cts oilpan works good.

Hey Kevin,
Your sig says you are using Pacesetter headers, are they for a G body with an LS motor, or F body headers?
Thanks,
Scot

Those headers are for 4th gen F-bodies. Here's the cheapest price I found for them:

Actually I thought I bought mine cheaper but maybe not.

I Really dont have a build thread just a progress thread. The CTS pan hangs 1/2 inch below crossmember. I will post up underside pics next time I put the car on the lift.

Hey Kevin, Is that the stock truck alt location? It fits under the hood without problem?

I was able to get the alternator to clear with the stock hood (truck accessory setup). I think it depends on which motor mounts you use, though. I recently did the swap, see here for info regarding oil pan and accessory information: http://www.maliburacing.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=34

I've read both yay and nay, as far as a truck brackets working under stock hood. It might clear if you use the transdapt mounts, but I know it wont clear a stock hood if u use the BRP mounts. They raise the motor up a bit.
