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!!


0802092122-01[1].jpg Narrower rear sump.
DSC04327.jpg Stock 5.3 pan sump was too wide, the H3 fixed that.
20090806094752.jpg That gave me just enough front and rear clearance.

Mikey Has this pan for sale in the forum store.
