Default LS3 oil pan questions...

I have a few questions to ask. First off I am putting an LS3 into a 23 T-bucket. I need a low profile oil pan because ground clearance is an issue. I have had a stock truck 5.3 with truck oil pan and it was maybe 2 inches off the ground. I know an LS1 oil pan gave it IIRC an extra 2 inces. Now I have the LS3 and was wondering the best oil pan for my application. I can raise the motor mounts, but I would also have to raise the cab mounts which I really don't wanna do. I am unsure of what oil pans I can possibly run with this block, and also what oil pump, pickup tube assembly would I need to run? Thanks for the help.

You may want to look into a corvette oil pan , i believe they are not as deep but the flare out on the sides.

Will an F-body oil pan bolt up and work on the LS3? I'm not sure if the pickup tube is different or not...
