Great find. Only US$180 list complete. Excellent value.
Does anybody have the dimensions/template for the F body oil pan modifications for the 68-72 A body application? Since I already have the pan, and the LH8 pans don't seem to be a better solution (and they're on national backorder), and the aftermarket ones are quite spendy, I feel like I should just modify what I already have. Thanks.
I'm currently dropping a LS3 into a old supra. I have a Fbody Oilpan now on there which is quite fine but it would help me massivly if I could save some height in the front of the pan. Is there any OEM or aftermarket pan that is not as high as 1 3/8 inch in the front?

How much additional clearance do you need? The rod bolts are not far inside the pan at the front. You would probably gain 3/16 - 1/4" at most. If you check the front at the pan, you will see a notch cast in for rod bolt clearance.

Great news!
has anyone gotten dimensions on one of these(Muscle car oil pan kit) yet
kit came in Friday, it is the LH8 pan.
sure would have been nice if GM would have listed what the oil pan was in the kit with some dimensions.
not going to work for our 69 camaro swap.
part was a special order, dealer won't take back.
so now we are stuck trying to sell it.

It sucks that GM wont take this back. They should say its an LH8 pan and it may not fit early F Bodys.
Really, unless the engine is against the firewall and a regular F Body pan will clear the steering link, the options seem to be to section an F Body pan, take the bottom off an LH8, or get an aftermarket pan.
F Body here in a 68, engine not on firewall. Sectioned the pan.
GM now has a LSX Muscle Car oil pan
