Go to tbssowners.com they have alot of info! If your a awd drive guy im sure your motor is a victim of the oiling problem, i suggest getting the updated pickup tube pcmforless has.

also if you change the oil pan to the c6 ls2 pan you have to change the engine crossmember & you can get that from leftcoast32.com

(not trying to violate any forum rules by posting another vendor that may, or may not, be a vendor to this site...just trying to help fellow TBSS owners)

The stock pan has a 50psi bypass built into it. I'm going to make my own pickup tube and block off the bypass. That way i don't have to dick around with crossmembers or A/C compressor mounts.

As for the crossmember kit for the C6 pan. Just take a sawzall to the stock crossmembers and let er eat! Not like it's going to fall apart or anything.
