Are we talking about the 67-69 camaro? If so, you will NOT be able to use the Stock LSX oil pan. You will need to buy an aftermarket oil pan. ATS and AutoKraft supply these oil pans

The front part of the sump will contact the drag link. You have a few options- 1st is our aftermarket oil pan. While we feel our pan is of the highest quality, there are others out there that work too.
2nd option is to hack up the pan until it clears the drag link like S&P does.

In my GTO, I'm using spacers underneath the frame mounts to get the engine to clear the centerlink...

If your hood clearance allows it, that's the cheapest way to go...

But the worst for your driveline / pinion angle...

I just want to be sure at mounts are installed correct to my mock up motor.

I will just un bolt the stock pan and carry on the work
