I have a suggestion for making the cutting easier. Mark two lines a 1/4" apart from each other on each side. Cut the inside lines first, remove the center section then cut the next two lines off rather than grinding the metal down. Then slip the bolted together flanges back on, cheat the crossmember to the center of the 1/4" space so there is an 1/8" reveal on the inside of each flange and tack all four flanges, after removal there will be space for a full inside weld all the way around.
Bro i love your vids and they are so timely! I appreciate them! I am glad i saw this as im in the middle of my cam swap ( 2013 ZL1 vert) and was thinking about dropping the pan( its lowered anyway to do the oilpump pickup) and id like to remove the oil psi relief in the pan you showed recently idid not know was there! Great work sir!! Im not on the forum much, can you message me the contact info for those plates? Also what are you up to that you need access to the pan? Curious👍 Awesome car and many thanks for filming , i can show my son what were about to get into before we do lol.
Thanks bro, I only made contact to CFD on Camaro5 through their PM. It took him a while to get them to me mostly I think because he didn't have any made up. I don't have an inside number or anything for him and I'm pretty sure he only takes PayPal. I'm just doing a few things that I should've done the first time I did the cam. Thanks for the comment.
I checked him out. Nice lift and could fit my garage...not sure about height. Nice thing is they have a warehouse 60 miles up the road from me in Portland. Thanls for the tip.
@@winstondeitz6765 This video was recorded before removing the pan, but it was still a major removal on the ZL1. A lot of things have to be removed and moved out of the way. I never want to remove it but never know what I might have to do. Thanks for watching Winston.
@@fasnuf I’m pulling my oil pan this weekend can you tell what issues I will run into? I’m hearing that the silicone they use from the factory makes it hard to remove. Any tips will be highly appreciated.
I’m doing a cam swap on my 2014 I’m about to cut mine after seeing this but I’m probably going to drive it for a little until I get flanges, how hard is it to remove the pan once this is cut?
@@fasnuf I believe the shop that worked on my Camaro a couple of weeks ago to drop the oil pan to put a deflector on the high pressure relief valve they had to support the engine from above then unbolt the subframe to drop it out of the way of the pan. I know what engineer clown at GM ever thought of putting a cross member like that in the way.
Mr . FasNuf, was going to PM you on Camaro5, can’t get any of the moderators there to help me reset my password, no replies. Would like to find a way to contact you, not sure how.
Anyone have the email for this CFD that makes these flanges ??
You'll need to contact him through the Camaro5 forum.

@@Moneys169 Why wouldn't you use the Camaro5 forum? It's a great resource.
@@Moneys169 did you happen to get an email so the rest of us dont have to search?
Best quality version of this mod I've seen yet. Now come do mine!! 😉
Thank you. Can't say I really enjoyed it though. Having a buddy with a welder helped a ton. Thasnks for watching.
thanks for walking us through this!
My pleasure

Hey there ,I was needing to see if I can have some made for my car
Contact CFD on Camaro5
Check out Wildfire lifts. They don’t seem to bolt into the concrete. Derek from Vice Grip Garage has a few and loves them
Thanks, I will. I know I can do a 4 post but they're huge. Thank s for the comment.

@@fasnuf no problem! I love your videos! As a fellow 5th gen guy, I look forward to seeing your videos
Awesome video. You made a comment about never taking the pan out again on your last video. Any reason why you say this?

It's a PITA. still.
So, this didn't make a difference?
I am interested in the flanges for the front crossmember for my fifth GEN Camaro, how or where can I order them from?
Jim, I mention it in the video. CFD on the Camaro5 forum. Thanks for subscribing.
Jim do ya have the site for the flanges?
do you have an email for this guy? or anything? i dont want to use a forum just to get flanges for this.
No, I could only reach him on the Camaro5 forum.
Couldn't one just drop the engine with the subframe?
If you dropped the whole subframe down, you would still have to lift the engine off the subframe to remove te pan.
