got my 97 truck lowered 4/6 and the stock truck oil pan has smacked the ground a few times and i want to get a shorter one before something bad happens. what are you guys running? i was just gonna order a ls1 pan but it looks like the sump gets moved forward and i'm not 100% sure it wont hit the frame. the hummer pan doesnt look to bad but its only 3/4 inch shorter according to the ls1tech thread.
I've got the hotrod/h3 pan. It's really is only about 1" shorter than the truck pan. It's also about half the price of an f-body pan. There's a few around here running sectioned truck pans.
Does it hang below the frame?Quote:

It prob does hang down maybe 1/2" below crossmember, hard to tell here's a couple pics
Looking straight down the middle from the front. Can barely see it peeking below crossmember

From angle behind tire can see it hangs down maybe 1/2" although kinda looks more it's not.

I think I gave $125 for mine off ebay, was new, the f-body setups usually run about $250 or so, but like you said earlier, the sump is longer, I don't know if it would clear crossmember front to back. I think it's pretty much the best option unless you want to section the stock pan. Could probably maybe put some washers in between mounts and adapters and gain another 1/4" if wanted to get it tucked up a lite more. I don't know if I'm as low as yours, but I don't really feel uncomfortable about driving it. I'm pretty sure the big block pan was below the crossmember.
The F-body pan will work, I'm using one with 1" setback motor mount plates.
sweet thanks guys
I'm also using the h3 pan kit from eBay, works great with no issues and my truck is dropped 5/7
My truck is body dropped, Im running a ctsv pan. Cheaper than the f body pan and sits right above the crossmember
well i ended up running the H3 pan kit off ebay it was $250 ish for the pan, gasket, pickup, dipstick, tube and bolts. worked great and its flush with the frame.
That is good to hear but why did you pay so much? Jegs and summit sell that for $150 complete.
i dunno didnt know, actually it was $210 on ebay lolQuote:
