Default AutoKraft LS oil pan

I remember back in 2008 I read there was a bolt hole in the AutoKraft LS oil pan that wasn't drilled and tapped in the LS block. Is it still that way or does the block have the hole drilled and tapped on the newer blocks?

I'm not sure what you are referring to. I installed an AutoKraft (champ makes it) pan on an LS3 block and all the holes lined up perfectly. The pick up tube wasn't perfect and had to be modded slightly to get the proper height as well as fit the main cap that it bolts to.

Same here...and I did it back in 2008.

I read somewhere there was a bolt hole in the pan and the block didn't have a corresponding hole for a bolt.

This is what I read.

I did my swap in March of 2008:

It is entirely possible that I never noticed the extra hole, but I haven't had any oil leaks since the swap.
