LS oil pan into Heidts Subframe

[sp68cvert]

I purchased the Pro G subframe and I am putting a LS2 into a 68 vert. I did some searching on the site and noticed there are several companies that provide LS2 oil pans. Per Heidts, I need the 2005 vette pan. Southern Perfomance has a complete kit for $450 on ebay. Has anybody tried one of these. I know ATS, Chapman, Autokraft and others are out there.

I plan to use this as a canyon carver and some autocross. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the Heidts sub as well, and I am in the process of dropping in an LS6...MANY HEADACHES.

First attempt: Edelbrock LS plates, Energy Suspension Short/Wide.
Verdict: Summit sent out the wrong LS plates, and sent out Tall/Narrow by mistake.
--nothing lined up, and the Tall/Narrow won't go over the mount points on the frame.
no forseeable problem with stock pan (2004 CTS-V)plenty of clearance so far as I can tell.

Second Attempt: Edelbrock LS plates (for 67-69 Camaro this time) and Energy Suspension Short Wide this time.
Verdict: Mount points don't line up correctly with, or without the inserts.
--still no obvious problems with fitment on pan

Third Attempt: Called Heidts and was told that all of their testing was done with an LS3 and Energy Suspension's LS adapter kit (Part found here) (http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=3.1148)
I'll have an update as soon as I get the plates from Energy Suspension, but it had better line up!

Heidts told me that the pan required was from a Gen IV F body, not the vette.
