Swapping a LS1 into my 99&#39; Silverado. Can I use the trucks 5.3 oil pan on the LS1?
Pretty sure I can, just want the reasurence
Thanks

PS. tried searching with no luck
Use your truck pan, pickup tube, and windage tray. The LS1 oil pan will hit your crossmember, you could use the LS1 windage tray but the truck is better, it is full length where the LS1 is not. You can still use the truck oil filter which is longer than the LS1 and it won&#39;t hang down past your oil pan. [/b]
so the truck pan is better than a f-body ls1 because its longer? I assume its benificial to keep the oil up near the crank?

Would it be worth it/possible to swap the ls1 tray for a truck version while retaining the ls1 pickup/oil pan?
