With stock LSx manifolds in there, there are gobs of room. A log style for a turbo setup would provide a lot of room as well. Even with these very well designed long tube hybrids there is a surprising amount of room in there still. The FA20 is giant width wise so it makes for a lot of room to play with.

I thought most shops had been forced to use a front sump pan because of the subframe... Some had to cut material from the pan to fit it. Unless you have a custom oil pan...
Insight would be appreciated. Looking at swap options again.

Well, the red one is for a mustang, it was just an example. I was actually lamenting the fact that nobody makes a proper tubular crossmember or K-frame for this car. Numerous advantages, especially to engine swaps, but I don't want to thread-jack this thread to discuss them.
There is just too much perfect here already.
