Oil PanChoices and Fitment - Batwing or....?

[James]

Would the Bat-Wing oil pans used on the C5 work/fit on the SLC without clearance issues? I have the opportunity to get one new and wondered if it would fit. I've heard it is a pretty good pan to help prevent oil starvation under cornering. Yes I agree a dry-sump is best,, but the car will mostly be for driving around town, with only a few track days a year. Also, the engine is a 6.2, the oil pan is for a C5 (LS1/LS6). Will I have any issues?

If not,, what would be a good one to use?

The correct oil pan/windage tray and oil pick up to use with an LS3 is the Corvette package developed for the LS3...not the LS6

FYI.
GM in their infinite wisdom has chosen to keep the same part number of the crate Corvette LS3 engine but its now the Camaro crate engine. This means that the oil pan , windage tray and pick up needs to be changed back to the Corvette ones to fit an SLC ....

If you plan on taking the car on the track you will need a drysump system. The 05 and up corvette oil pans had terrible oil control.
