Oil pan question

[Dinosport]

Hey again guys. So in another post the oil pan convo came up which lead me to take a closer look at mine. I have an LY6 6.0 ltr. The engine actually came out of a UPS truck so I have very minimal on the specifics of the engine since there's nowhere I know of to get that info so I'm just going of a express van.
To my point I took a look at the oil pan and it doesn't look like the typical truck pan. I went to ls1tech site and looked at the oil pans and it actually measurement wise is more like an ls1 oil pan.
Any of you come across this before?
Would this pan work?
I plan to do away with the vvt so will I have to get rid If it anyway?
I was also looking for details on the muscle car pan on line and couldn't find. Anybody have one and actually measured it? Or what site has detailed measurements on it? Or the Holley pan

I assume you have a truck pan but I could be wrong. The muscle car pan isn't really that special. It a pan for an H3 so it hangs down. The Holley pan is shollower. Have you seen this thread? Lots of dimensions....

If it came from a UPS truck the driver probably forgot to deliver it so he "threw" the pan on the engine after he yanked it from his truck to sell it just before he got fired....

Doesn't look like a truck pan as the drain on the truck pan is at the 6 position. Can you see any part number on the bottom?

 

[Dinosport]

I'll take a peek and see if there is a part number. From the rear to where it slopes upward measures roughly 15 inches and from the pan gasket to the bottom of the lowest part of the pan it measure about 5 1/2. Looking at the measurements of different oil pans it about the same measurements as the ls1 pan.

Lmao.
I took this pic quick. I haven't had a chance to try to google it cause I'm out with the kids Biking. Or should I say getting my but kicked. Lol

Ok so a quick google search shows it as a fbody ls1 pan. But an updated version that uses ls3 style oil filter. That's interesting. Doesn't change anything. It work unless I notch the frame. For that effort I'll bet the muscle car pan and sell this one as a package with the pic up and all on eBay. Or if one of you guys need it lmk.

 

[Dinosport]

So now that I have that figured out. I'm curious, I'm going to eliminate the vvt so with a non vvt timing cover will that pan work. I know I would need to notch the frame. I may not probably easier to just get the muscle car pan, but extra options are
Never a bad thing

Well I know I must be a pain lol. I have a quick question. The muscle car pan
19212593, Come with the pick up, windage tray, dip stick, bolts etc etc, Now If I found a deal on that pan but the guy only has the pan and pick up? That should be all I need right? I dont need the bolts I can reuse the ones that come off, there is already a windage tray ( I assume)
Guys if you see this and know pls mention it. I want to know if its worth buying the pan and pick up for 125 as opposed to 195 for the kit. That 70 bucks can get me the mounts or close to it. lol
Thanks

The bolts can definitely be reused. I don't know if the windage trays interchange. The F body (LS1) windage tray may interfere with the H3 (muscle car) pickup. Compare part numbers for both trays. The information may be in that thread I linked above.
