First time swap. LQ9 into 95 OBS

oh and i still dont know what to do about the oil filter. i checked the part numbers for the truck, camaro and corvette and they are all the same. but the filter will not thread on the new pan. it works just fine on the truck pan but it seems the threads are just slightly bigger on the new one or the pitch is different. i think i remember reading that a different filter was required if you bought the aftermarket gm "fit into anything" pan. could that be the one i need? idk what to do. i even tried taking it off the pan and i just cant. its on there reeeeeaaalllly good. any suggestions?

EDIT: BAM!!!!!!! http://ls1tech.com/forums/generation...r-adapter.html WTF GM!!!! i mean really? what is the purpose for changing the threads? who the hell does this benefit? this kind of BS frustrates me.

hey man. the piece i bought was from a guy off ebay. it wasnt some reputable company. sorry. but its a quality piece and the guy is very honest. i would definately buy from him again. he wasnt selling exactly what i wanted so i emailed him telling what i needed and he sold me a better piece for the same price which wasnt listed. hes a stand up guy and i would buy from again. i checked his store so i could post a link for you but it seems hes not currently selling it. so all i can reccomend is that you email him and i bet he can help you out. the email that i contacted him with was tsto13_lyd3845ojfc@members.ebay.com

so try that and let me know how that goes. wish i could help you further.

Were you able to use the donor trucks ypipe? Do you know if the BAR station always "tweeking" of the ypipe to clear front driveshafts etc?

Holy crap. I know this is almost a year late. I didnt even know you had posted a comment. Sorry man. Anyway yes I used the donor trucks Y pipes but they really arent a Y since its dual exhaust though. They actually fit quite well. I remember one of the guys at the shop telling me he had to heat up the pipe and bend it some direction to clear something. Maybe about an inch or so. This was a couple years ago so I dont really remember but i believe he bent it up for clearance due to my drop. Then I had both pipes run down the passenger side and dump under the bed.
