Chevy Corvette C3 Corvette Oil Pan setup clearance issues F-body 5.3 swap 5.3 C3 Corvette Engine swap how to

If you are planning to LS swap your C3 Corvette, this is probably the cheapest oil pan setup you will find. The 5.3 truck pan is WAY too deep, it hangs like 6 inches under the frame crossmember and hits the factory steering parts. Swapping to this F-body pan gives us TONS more ground clearance and it now easily clears the factory steering arms.

It will still bind up against the factory ram for the power steering. For now I will be running manual steering till I can get this thing running. If I figure out how to run the ram later I will update with the info. I hear this setup will work perfect with most Rack and Pinion conversions too!
