    Looks like Rick is getting old too...

    "I since looked at the Holley pan but cannot get a guarantee from Holley or CPP's customer service that they will work in the TriFive. "
    I'm getting old, but I did get this right. There's lots of people using the Holley pan successfully, at least with certain circumstances - stock steering, which the OP said he has. And it doesn't hang low.

    I suppose there are still circumstances where you could mount the engine in such a way that it doesn't work. The solution there would be to mount the engine in a way that it does work.

    IMO the Holley pan is ridiculously expensive at $375 compared to the GMPP pan. Take a look here:

    My cost on GMPP pan was about $150 if I recall, additionally if I remember right its a Hummer pan.

    GMPP pan will hit the ground on a lowered car. So buy it and mod it, or get the one that doesn't require a mod. S&P gets about the same as Holley for a modded F-body pan. The other custom pans cost about the same as the Holley pan. What's a guy to do?

    Are you sure about that?

    The Holley pan is 5.89" deep. The GMPP pan is 6.75" deep according to Jegs. That's about a 7/8" difference. However, Summit says it's 8" deep...so who's right? Another source says Jegs is right.

    The GMPP pan 19212593 looks like it's a 2010 Camaro pan according to the last link.

    I don't see how Holley can have a shallower and shorter sump and still claim more capacity than some of the others.

    It looks to me like the 2010 Camaro pan is closest to the Holley pan.

    Here's what looks like better dimensions for the Holley pan. The sump is actually 6" deep and 7.65" long if you believe this site. It looks to me like they got the Camaro pan wrong:

    Cnut I think your second set of info is the correct set. BO185 has posted some nice side view photos of both pans with dimensions at trifive.com if anyone cares to go there and search.

    The "H3" GMPP pan definitely hangs too low for a lowered car.
