Do I modify Centerlink to clear stock oil pan or buy LH8 pan?
Summit and Jegs has the LH8 complete oil pan kit for the LS swap and it is only $150 but the oil pan does hang down substantially lower.
Looking at the problem it appears to me I could modify the centerlink by using an additional centerlink and combining the two.
East Coast Chevy has a modified centerlink they sell for $150 before shipping and they want my old centerlink or they have a core charge.
Their modified centerlink just drops down two inches.
I have an extra centerlink on hand and was thinking about using it to graft into existing centerlink by extending the bend forward. Thus clearing the stock oil pan.
I think my local machine shop could weld this and it still be safe.
Any thoughts on this idea?
