thanks CK.. will look into it.. have to drop the sump to swap a cam shortly.

EDIT... dropped the engine back down with the help of gravity.. Been looking around for the C6 sump (or oil pan).. GM parts direct in the US is around $270... rather then $350 (improved performance) to $450. Is the pickup reusable with this sump... any recommendations on local suppliers..?

With thanks

Chris
