Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Hey fellow members... Need some more insight!
I have an Extreme with an LS swap. I just got the engine in and I am looking to get the steering linkage done. Does anyone have any pics of how they did it with an LS? Im confident that its going to be done with a 3 joint setup. Thanks! FYI! My pan(not F-body LS1) does fit. I did shim the rack out with 2 washers, with no interference with the notch. It is tight, could maybe use 1 more washer. Here are the pics

One thing to be aware of, when you shim out the rack like you did, you are opening yourself up to some possible bumpsteer concerns. Granted, it might not be enough to where it is noticeable, but something to keep an eye out for. The location of the rack is critical in keeping the suspension and steering geometry in check with its design. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
No, Im pretty sure that the two flat washers(~1/8") didnt make THAT big of a difference

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Is the Holley oil pan #302-2 the right pan for a DM equipped frames?

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
According to Nate, the only one that should fit is the LS1 F-Body

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I have not yet fit up the Holley pan that Russ is running. It obviously fits... I will get with him to confirm part numbers so we can recommend it as an option.
I am pretty sure that the pan Russ is running is this one: https://www.holley.com/products/ls_p...ns/parts/302-2 My personal experience is with the 98-2002 F body pan. I mocked the kit up with that specific pan, and I know it fits with personal experience. So that's the one we currently recommend to all our customers. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
It could be just a different angle of view too

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I think it's the angle of the pic that makes it look further ahead.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Mine is the 302-2.....I had to modify the windage try, the f body windage tray is shorter than the truck windage tray. And I did not have a f body windage tray. Easy fix.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Maybe if the Holley pan works,... PBFAB could become an "authorized dealer" for them,...
and include them in a kit with the LS style Dropmember mounts. Would this help resolve the issues of the various LS style oil pans?

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Is there any clearance differences between the mild and and extreme dm and pan/rack? I'm planning on running the mild when funds allow but just about ready to pull the trigger on the Holley pan.
