when mocking up the motor mounts and modifying the front crossmember. Sump depth also needs to be considered, as several stock pans may clear the chassis, but the sump depth can become an issue when the sump hangs below the crossmember, especially on lowered vehicles.
In a typical installation, you may find that more than one pan fits your A-Body. Case in point: The LH8 oil pan (a special pan for the 5.3-powered Hummer H3) easily fits the wide range of 1964–1972 GM A-Body cars. However, with a typical adapter plate and motor mount installed, the LH8 pan rear sump hangs about 1½ inches below the engine crossmember, so standard suspension–height cars should have enough clearance on public roads. However, if the car has a low ride height, especially on air-ride suspension, there may not be enough clearance between the pan and the pavement.
The BRP Muscle Rods motor mount kits use the LH8 oil pan, but the special motor mounts position the engine differently in the car than most other adapter kit installations. As such the LH8 pan provides enough clearance to avoid common road obstacles.
