Boy, after working on G-bodies for many years, I never noticed a difference in the K-members. Does anybody have a picture of both for comparison sake?
Ordered oil pan today

Crap... and the frame I have has already been cleaned :? If this is the case I may trade somebody for theirs 
I used the Chevrolet performance oil pan kit in my 1980 malibu and it worked. Snug fit but it went in.

From what I remember, the CTS-V pan hung below the crossmember slightly (maybe 1/2"). I wouldn't have a problem going that route if I was the one driving the car, because I would be mindful of the pan hanging below the crossmember. Since my teenage son is driving it, I decided against it for obvious reasons. I ended up going with the Moroso 20140 pan with remote filter. I probably wouldn't do that again. It was kinda' a pain routing the hoses for the remote filter and a hassle to find a mounting location. There are more alternatives out there now. See here for my latest update including the Moroso pan:

Oil Pan Summary - Updated 2-13-10
Oil Pan: OK, this was quite a journey. I originally test fitted the stock truck oil pan. It hung down way too low for my taste. So I decided this was no-go. Truck oil pan installed and test fitted My next try was a Cadillac CTS-V pan and pickup. You can use the stock dipstick and tube...

I believe thats just the truck pan which will hang way below the crossmember. Not even an option imho.
