I had a hard time finding anyone that would sell me the pan, and related parts of their running H3.

The entire kit from the dealer with dipstick, windage tray, pickup tube, gasket, pan, and bolts was only like 200ish. If you only want the pan for some reason its like $500

I've looked at doing the same swap and i got mixed answers on if you have to notch the frame or not. I'm if you use ac you have to. But what about the pan?

The reason you get mixed reviews on notching the pan is because the motor mounts are adjustable so some ppl have their motor farther forward than others. So notching is required. I personally went with the Holley oil pan but there is only one style of mount that I know of that will allow it to fit without notching.

old thread but for those interested, SDPC has the kits for a great price. just ask for PN# 19212593. it comes with the oil pan, pan gasket, windage tray and all bolts/nuts and the dip stick tube. the kit comes out WAY cheaper than piecing it together. under $150 if i remember correctly. they call it the musclecar kit but it is a packaged up h3 pan.
