Also Nismo Kid i was wondering of you could repost the pictures that show the oil pan loaction. Looks like all the original pictures were lost in the photobucket-ocalypse. I was looking at the 'muscle car oil pan kit' and clearance wise it should clear the crossmember and rack with no problem due to having similar dimensions as the 98-02 f-body pan but the sump is 2.5" deeper the the F-body pan and i dont want to have the pan hang down too lowif you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

Well i got my 4.8 set in and bolted down to the Z last week. I was able to make the Dirty Dingo mounts work with the turbo crossmember. I used a SBC LS conversion mount from ICT Billet on the driver side to get the mount offset enough froward to reach the pedestal on the turbo crossmember. Had to do some minor modifications to the Dirty Dingo mount on that side as well. I dont have good pictures of the mount on that side but i can get some and post them later.if you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

I also thought i could maybe get away with using the 'muscle car oil pan kit' that they sell for LS engines since i was having a hard time finding a F-body pan. I should have just kept looking though because after mounting the engine it was very clear that the muscle car pan wouldnt work, it sits ~ 2 inches below the bottom of the crossmember and ~2 inches off the ground, that's just asking for trouble.
After doing some research and using my internet skills i was able to get a new f-body pan, pickup tube, windage tray, dipstick and dipstick tube for $240 which isn't too bad compared to the price of most new pans and not a whole lot more then getting them used. I got the pan and pickup from advance auto using a 30% off coupon code (it only lets you take a max of $50 off, but if you order each individually you can use the code on both orders). Then i got the dipstick and tube from Summit, and the windage tray on amazon. It would be hard to get all those parts for any cheaper then that. I should also be able to sell my muscle car pan and recoup some of that money.if you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

I'm going to have to rework my numbers now and see if that adapter plate will be close enough to a NA2T swap to go the LS route instead. It's $400 cheaper than the one I was looking at.
