Hi Gang,

I've got a '65 with a 502 crate motor installed. It was done by a previous owner, and a pretty nice job. But... the 502 came with a 7 quart oil pan and it's too low. Here's a picture of the installed motor, but I don't have a picture of the oil pan. It's too ugly - and it's been wacked a bunch of times.



Does anyone know who makes a nice oil pan that wouldn't hang down as low? The oil pan also needs to clear the power steering cylinder.

Thanks,

Darcy

I would suggest any stock Hi-Perf BB pan would be fine, but be aware, you will probably have to change the pump pick up if you go to a shallower pan.

Actually, I was looking over some 502 GM info and found a reference to a different oil pan that GM makes in case of clearance problems.

This might do the trick!

Get the current GM replacement pan for a B/B Corvette. It holds 5 quarts and will clear a windage tray and studs if you currently use them. As the last poster said, you will probably have to change the oil pump pickup with the shallower pan.

gm parts has the pan and pick up needed for the 502 in a vette
or you can shim the front springs....
