C1500 LS swap fitment notes

The kit is built for the BRP LH8 oil pan kit.
A stock LS truck pan bolts up too, but it hangs about an inch below the frame. Skip it on a lowered truck.
Large-case 6L80E and 6L90E automatics need no tunnel modifications.
LS truck intake and exhaust manifolds fit this chassis.
The factory mechanical fan from an LS truck engine lines up with the C1500 fan shroud.
LS truck-style alternator and power steering units fit this chassis well.
No low-mount A/C compressor clears the frame, so the build needs a high-mount A/C kit.
The outer crossmember brackets go on with the narrow tapered end toward the rear of the truck.
The Multi-Fit mount kit is for trucks with the OEM Chevrolet clamshell frame mount and works with the Sure-Fit crossmember and mid-length headers.

Can I run the oil pan from my LS truck engine?

Yes, but it sits about 1 inch below the frame, so it is not suggested for lowered trucks. The kit is designed for the LH8 pan.

Will a 6L80E fit without cutting the floor?

Yes. The guide says large-case 6L80E and 6L90E transmissions fit the tunnel with no modifications.
