I was pointed to THIS page by a LS1Tech member... towards the bottom of the page, there are drawings of the F-body, Vette, and Truck oil pans... the truck pan has a slightly deeper looking sump, but it is also 2.75 inches towards the back of the pan... which gives MUCH more room... I'm gonna do some looking around... see if I can get ym hand on one of those. Stay tuned...

John-
I thought about dry sump, but THAT is an expensive proposition... and one I'm not real familiar with. I expect you have to have some kind of external sump pump whether it be electric or mechanically drive by the belt... not sure what kind of room I have for other accessories. I will continue looking at that route though... would DEFINITELY take care of ALL clearance questions! lol

TTYL!
