Our Engine crossmember does work with the 8.1 vortec
Our engine crossmember does not clear Cummins oil pans
Our Engine crossmember does not work with Duramax motors
Our Engine crossmember does not work with Gen V LT motors
On "LS" Applications the small block crossmember can be used to get more up-travel if you are using an aftermarket oil pan like the Tilden Motorsports one.
People have asked what it takes to put one of these crossmembers in a 67-72 GM truck/SUV. By using the wedge shape "saddles" that the motor mounts bolt to on a 73-87(91) GM truck/SUV you can use our crossmember in the earlier frame. It does take some drilling/fitting to put them in.
Here are some pictures of our crossmember in the earlier frame:
To help with deciding if the big block crossmember will work with your oil pan here are some measurements to check:
Big block crossmembers are 2-1/4” at front, 3” at back, from bottom of frame to top of tube.
For LS swaps using the Dirty Dingo “Slider” motor mounts there may be possible oil pan clearance issues with the stock truck style oil pan. A high clearance pan may be necessary.
