CORVETTE LS3 PAN in Camaro Nova Subframe

[1fastssnova]

Just wondering if anyone has done this. I am building an LQ4/LS3 6.0L for my '69 Nova. I have an LS3 pan that came off a GMPP crate motor from a friend. My subframe is already notched from the previous BBC that was in there because of the drag race oil pan I was using.

The pan will have no problem clearing in width but my concern will be at back with the draglink and tie rods. Those suspension components are the same height as the notched subframe crossmember. As long as the motor sits high enough it should clear everything. I will be using Dirty Dingo slider mounts.

I know before all these aftermarket pans came out guys used F-Body pans in the Camaro and Nova's and they worked with certain mounts. The older F-Body pan and newer style LS3 pan are not far off in dimensions (the 'Vette pan is actually not as deep). First pic is the F-Body, second is the 'Vette.





I will post some pics of the subframe if it will help make more sense of this. Thanks
