Default Re: Oil pans

If it's a tri-stepped pan, as in to say shallow at the balancer end, then a 2nd stage deeper in the middle, then sump in the rear it will not. I think these are big car (Impala, Caprice) pans I'm thinking of though, I had one of these and tried to put it in a '70 Chevelle, and the second step in the middle of the pan hit the crossmember before the mounts would line up. I think if you're putting a big block in a 1st gen Camaro, the pan needs to be the type that has a smooth transition from front to sump, no slightly deeper portion in the middle or it'll hit the chassis. I'd say if it's a stock, smooth transition Chevelle pan it should work though. Avoid those big car pans...not good for anything but big cars.
