5.3 Swap Oil Pan - CTS-V or Holley?
I have been reading a lot about the different oil pans to use - I'm putting a 5.3 into my lowered 87' C10 soon. I was considering doing the F-Body pan - but I started reading that the sump area was so long it could cause issues with the engine mounting position as it may hit the crossmember if not back far enough.
It looks like better options may be the CTS-V pan or the Holley pan. CTS-V is cheaper for just a pan, but when you throw in the dipstick, windage tray, pickup and pan - its coming close to the price of the Holley pan. Is there a reason to get one over the other? My gut says go with the CTS pan as its a GM pan on a GM motor and it'll bolt right up without any issue. Thoughts? Am I over-thinking this? Should I still consider the F-Body pan? |
