Thanks for the correction, Don. I'm considering a 6L80 swap and was told a G8 pan would work. Didn't realize the 6L90 pan was different.

My 70 has stainless mid-length headers so hopefully that won't be an issue.

PML is looking at building low-profile pans for the 6L90 so they may be an option. https://www.yourcovers.com/transpan_11036.php
Here's a Note from them: "Cadillac CTS-V, 2009 to 2015, and some new CTS and Camaro ZL1 models have the 6L90 transmission. This pan will fit the transmission but is probably too deep to maintain clearance. We are considering a low profile, stock capacity pan for the 6L90."
