I hate to sound like a elitist but I cannot say I know what the budget pan is, but I know it is not that one. We use our Champ pans on everything.

Frank told ya so....

Funny about asking for advice and then not listening to it. :D

I read somewhere that Hooker plates will work with the F body pan with only a small notch. Do a search on ls1tech.com in the conversions and hybrid section. Those guys over there have tried just about every combo.

Another option might be the CTS-V pan with Hooker plates.

I know I know but I just had to see how bad it would fit for myself.:thumbsup:

I did manage to install the LS1 with a stock subframe and a unisteer rear mount rack and fit a stock Fbody oil pan with no mods to it.I was told it wont fit but had to try it for myself.Im stubborn that way:thumbsup:
