Notching S10 Engine Cross Member

I decided I wanted a little extra wiggle room for the LS1's oil pan, so I went ahead and notched the frame.

    I think I'd put a spacer between the motor mount and the frame are changed out the oil before I'd ever cut on my powder coating and do all that extra work

    Is the 4wd frame the same as a 2wd?

    Is that the Hot Rod/Hummer H3 Alpha pan? I am using that one, too, and notched the back part of the center of the crossmember because I couldn't get it in the truck with the body still on and the trans attached to the motor.

    Its the Holley 302-1 oil pan. It's what was recommended with the rest of the Hooker Blackheart swap parts

    @@CheekyGarage I actually saw that in a later video. When I started mine, Holley didn't have any of that stuff available. I probably would use it if I did it now.

    What was the thickness of the pieces you welded in?

  • @tommyhajimoto6968

    Can that section be cut completely off and replaced with something removable? I don't feel like taking the whole motor out to replace a oil pan gasket Any links would be great. Also would it be safe to do?

    You’re using the Holley style pan made for 4.00 stroke crankshaft, there’s a shallower one available made for fbody. 302-1 and 302-2. If you’re not using a stroker crank you don’t have to notch, just saying…

    Why not just flip the piece that you cut out upside down stick it back in there and weld it

    Notching the cross is beneficial to being able to drop the oil pan and not have to pull the motor. Very big positive since you have to drop the pan for oil pump, and rear main seals. This does not reduce structural integrity
