Re: Which oil pan?

I would recommend the Holley pan. It may be more money, but I love it. Just be sure of which one you need. I ended up installing the 302-1 at first and then found out I had an interference issue with my cross member and had to go to the 302-2. Fortunately, I was able to return the 302-1 to Summit. You need to understand though that my chassis is a custom chassis with rack and pinion. The 302-1 hit my rack and pinion and there was no way to know that ahead of time.

Don't be scared by the windage tray modifications either. They are no big deal. The 302-2 pan requires more windage tray modification, which I didn't want to do, so I bought the right windage tray (PN 12558253) from Summit for $24. The 302-1 windage tray mod is easy. If you go to Holley's web site they even tell you what windage tray you need and what oil dipstick to use. Lots of info at their web page.

Here is the comparison between the 302-1 & 302-1 pan. Also a picture of my LS3 with the 302-1 installed first.
