454 Oil Pan question *please post links if you have them*

[HopefulNewOwner]

Hey everyone!

First things first: thanks in advance for any help, greatly appreciated.

Okay, I have a fully rebuilt Gen VI 454 Big Block. It came out of a '98 truck, but I rebuilt it from the crank up, new pistons, bearings, rings, the whole 9 plus a beefier cam. Anyway, I originally intended to just sell the engine to make some cash, but now I'm STRONGLY considering buying a G-body roller and putting it in that. My question is: will the truck style oil pan fit an 80s G-Body? I found a few good roller candidates in my area, '84-'87 model years and I just want to have as much info beforehand as possible. If the truck style oil pan WILL NOT fit as-is, can someine tell me what style/brand oil pan I will need instead?

I searched these forums for an answer but all I could find were BBC swaps with 70s-era Gen 4s into Gen 1 Monte Carlos. If someone has a link to what I'm asking for, please help me out and post it. Otherwise I appreciate the input!

Gen V & VI use the same pan. Even being listed for a Chevelle, some still have crossmember clearance issues, Several have been discontinued compaired to MK IV pans. Here's one on Amazon.

Truck pan will not fit, it drops to soon and fast towards the sump.. would need notch to work

This is the pan I run with my MK6 block. Only thing I don't like is drain plug faces forward, everything clears through

This is the answer. A truck pan will not fit. It has been done if you can cut an weld, you can notch the front of the pan to be more of a straight 90 degree to clear the crossmember. Otherwise, it will need a dedicated car pan.
