Default LQ9 Oilpan...only a dealer avail item?

I'm being told there's no aftermarket item that works...is this possible? I've bored it out to 4.050 to build a 370 and wanted to use a littel bigger capacity shallow pan...any recommendations? R/

You can look at the Canton or Moroso oil pans. Any Gen3/4 oil pan will bolt up to your 370. The trucks have a deeper sump vs. the car models like the F-Body. It should hold 7qts just fine. You will not need any more.

i think a .050 over is a 374 or 375 since a .060 supposed to be a 377 like the 6.2s

I would add in a large oil cooler with 1/2" lines or larger and you will get another quart or two plus additional cooling which IMO is better then just ahving added volume unless you are doing some rock crawling stuff then you need dry-sump.
