big block oil pan

All you gen V or gen VI 454 or 502 guys I need an oil pan for my motor. I want something in the 6 quart capacity range. Anyone know of one that will fit with the one piece rear seal motors. My car is a 69 and am currently running the 4 quart pan. Also how hard is it to change the pan. Please give me the procedure. It looks like just drop the steering linkage. Thanks.

You must use a Gen.V or VI pan with these motors. After sanding a hole through the stock pan that came on my ZZ/502(91/2" deep), I found a perfect 6 qt. pan to replace it (less than 8" deep). It is a Moroso, available through Summit Racing (in stock). It carries p/n 20411. I also got the dipstick assembly #25790, and the high-volume pump and pickup assembly #22185(remember the pickup height changes, too). Just drop the tie rod to install it. Be SURE that you have the Gen.V or Gen.VI pan gaskets, too! Everything installed without a hitch for me, and now the pan is shallower than the bellhousing. Good luck!

MassVette just what I was looking for. Thanks a million. Do you know if this will work with the stock pickup and what about windage?

You need the shallower pickup and to remove windage tray. It's OK, though, the pan is well baffled.

Re: big block oil pan (MassVette)

I am following this advice for replacing my mangled pan. The casting number on my block is 12550313. I have no room under my oil pan right now and it looks like it is resting on the steering componants.
