Can anyone please explain why GM decided to place the pickup tube bolt for the oil pump on fbody ls1 motors on the back of the tube making you have to drop the oil pan to get to it while in a vette its on the front and easily accessible. I understand they have different pans and so forth but I still dont see why they couldnt put it in the front on the fbody as well. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU......

you can drop the pan on a fbody enough to access the bolt with out pulling it out. It will drop enough to sit on the subframe, I am just wondering why they do that when on a vette they put it in the front making it so much easier. Alot of people drop them in the pan. It was alil nerve racking to do but with alil ziptie trick, it went in easy.
