Need to make a decision on the Oil pan. Only LS Oil pan with a front sump is the GTO one. The problem is I am concerned with the rear end of it, that has a protrusion that would need to sit behind the subframe. That would limit the movement I play I can have with the engine back and forward to accomodate the shifter. The CX racing pan has more room for play as the back is completely flat, but it introduces other things like needing to remotely locate the filter and cut the disptick to correct length.
