static drops and oil pans - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any of you guys running around a 4" drop with the stock truck oil pan.

My pan is sticking about 2" below the front crossmember and with just a 2" drop or so I don't think it would not be a problem but with the 4" things might get tricky.

I did a search but all I could find was bagged trucks that were even lower than mine.

Just wanted some info before I spend some cash on a f-body pan.

Thanks!

What truck? I had a to use an f-body pan on my bagged '50. I wouldn't want the oil pan any lower than the front crossmember no matter what. There are a couple other solutions besides f-body but it definitely is the most shallow of the stock wet-sump pans. The GMPP conversion pan for one, Cadillac CTS-V, GTO, Vette...

LQ4 engine, that deeep pan. I may have been mistaken but the GMPP conversion was only about an 1" shorter than the stock pan. But I will check into the others and see if one will work, thanks for the heads up.
