I ran the stock oilpan, and I believe Diarmadhim did also without any trouble. As far as the headers go, if they are for the v8 luv swap, then they shouldn't be an issue. You can't just run any kind of header.

Yep. just a stock sbc pan, hooker mounts and headers. no clearance issues at all, except would recommend an oil filter relocater.

Yep... Same here. Stock pan, Hooker mounts and headers and an oil relocation setup. Dont buy a complete relocation kit. Find an adapter and filter housing. Then get enough oil line and fittings as you go. The fittings from a kit are somewhat useless and the length of oil line will most likely be too short.
