LS1 oil pan -> 5.3 block?
Hey I was wondering if anyone has fitted an LS1 oil pan onto a 5.3 truck engine before. I'm researching for a hybrid conversion and I read that the truck oil pan is 3" lower than the LS1 and that is cause for concern...

Pick up tube is different. Pump is fine. Yes it will bolt right up. I have an LS1 pick up tube if you need one. $10 and it's yours. Guy sent me the wrong one when I got another part from him.

What kind of vehicle is this going in if you don't mind me asking? You might run in to clearance issues with any of LSX pans, due to the engine cross-member. I know for first gen camaros, we just cut the pan back a bit. You might have to do something similar as its a pretty unique pan.
