    If you're putting an LS engine into a 99+ truck why not just use a 99+ truck oil pan? They can be found cheap on ebay, much cheaper than the f-body pan.

    Exactly what I did. Found a brand new take-off for $49. Thanks!

    I've read several threads stating to apply rtv to the 'corners' when installing a new gasket (I bought a Felpro). Kind of vague. Are we talking about the 4 most outward corners of the pan or every bend/corner? Top and bottom of gasket? Apply how long of a bead away from the corners? I really only want to do this once. lol. Any specfic rtv? As usual, thanks in advance!
