Thanks. I'm not sure about the square body. Post a picture of the pedal mount area. Tranny seems to be working fine, but I'm still playing with the tune.

Hey Rod,

nice build so far! love the power plant and all the goodies! Now I'm just a little foggy about your oil pans. are you running a sts-v pan on the 6L80 and a Ctsv pan on the motor? Im building a 6.0 lq4 drop member 70 swb with a 6L80e as well, need the most clearance as possible obviously so I'm just trying to confirm.
or are you running a camaro pan on the 6.2? I know it was earlier in the thread its just so many pages to sift through! Nice DD also! those taillights look different to me, maybe just real new camaro?! Thanks Rod in advance. Derek

Are the filler/cap assy from Boyds, also???

Job well done!!!

Thanks Derek. If you are running the PB extreme dropmember, you will need to use the Camaro FBody oil pan (98-02), that's what's on my son's truck with the LS1 and PB stuff. Here's the oil pan on my gold 68 (factory front crossmember):

and the tranny pan:

Make sure you get the matching tranny filter to go with it.

I made the filler tube from a piece of 2" exhaust pipe and the cap came from West Marine. It's a gas filler for a boat.

Do you think a truck oil pan would have cleared if you didn't have the extreme DM?
I've got a mild for my truck and would rather not change the pan.

The truck pan will probably work for the mild drop member, but I'm not sure how far it will hang below the crossmember.

This weekend we drove the truck over to Biloxi for Scapin' the Coast. We cruised over there at 75-80 mph with the AC blowing cold and the motor taching around 21-2200 rpm, :metal:. I think the fuel milage was around 14 mpg. I think engine is still a little on the rich side, but not to bad considering what it is...:lol:. The only thing that would have made it a little better would have been cruise control (that gets installed this week...). I only saw a about 7-10 67-72s at the show but they were all pretty kewl. Made some new friends, Jason and his son from DeadEndGarage. They had a sweet 72 that was slammed to the ground. I also met up with a couple of boardmembers, Track71 and Big Country, who both brought there C10's. It was a cool show with a little bit of everything. I'm pumped for CTC '14!!!

Jon, look at my build, I have a drop but don't know how much as I bought it that way. I am using the stock truck oil pan and have not had a problem.
