Good information and thanks Howie. I knew there was something unique about them but could not remember.

Default Re: Oil pan question

Years ago Oshawa stamping made the small block oil pans. They eventually developed a method, along with open molecule steel, to draw the shape of the pan in a single draw. It was a two step process before. A short deep sump like that would be impossible to draw, period. The longer sump would be easier to do. I have one of these pans and the oil pump but just never had a project to use it on.

Thank you for the help.
This pan was on a complete engine that I bought. I have seen and have a couple of the corvette pans that user is talking about, not the same.
Yes the pickup tube is odd but I cannot remember about the windage tray being different.

Curious to know if this pan fits any Chevelle applications? Thank you, Tom.
