Super, I would buy the H3 Pan. I thought about hacking mine up, but with the H3 pan I didn't have too. The only frame work I need to do is notch the drive side frame rail to clear the A/C comp. Really saved me time, which I don't have a lot of!!;)


2854 Narrower rear sump.
2856 Stock 5.3 pan sump was too wide, the H3 fixed that.
2855 That gave me just enough front and rear clearance.

Mikey Has this pan for sale in the forum store.
