that autocraft unit is nice too.... im all for supporting the sponsors here on lat G so ill go for the autocraft unit if my attempts to modify my f-body one fails

the autocraft unit looks like its steel??

The Autokraft pan is steel, I have one out in the garage. Nice pan, a little extra capacity because of the kickouts, and the ability to run a stock location filter. What I don't like about it is no provision for an oil temp sender or turbo drainbacks, but Kurt at Autokraft is very willing to work with you to add them and then replate the pan.

Champ makes the same pan you posted in steel also, for $200 less.

All that being said, as far as fab quality goes I haven't seen any nicer quality LSX swap pan than the ATS pan.

The Autokraft pan includes a oil pick-up and billet oil filter adapter which is not included in the price of the Champ Pan. The Autokraft pan also has nocthed corners for tie rod clearense.

looks like the ticket is the autocraft one.... as it comes with both pickup and filter adapter, and is notched... not sure the square champ one clears my frame.. also the ATS pan requires a remote filter adding to the price
