The most on-topic off topic ever

[John Cody Forbes]

Nope. The LT 944's run with custom pans with about a quarter inch clearance 
to the crankshaft from the oil pan in one specific spot. The LS guys run the 
oil pan even closer to the crank and still the hood wont close with about 
half of an inch interferance. The LS is taller from crank counterweight to 
intake manifold.
