Oil pan question...
I would like to know if Mr Gasket aluminium Oil Pan #5415 will fit or not my 350CI - L82 ( 1973 ) engine.
They say it can fit 1955-79 Chevy SB and all 1955-65 corvettes but don't say a word about later corvette models.
If think there could be an issue with power steering, but I'm not sure.
I can cut & weld aluminium if necessary to get enough clearance, but I would like to be sure there will not be other issues...
Here's a link to Jegs' web page, showing the part :

and another one to Summitracing's, showing an inside view of the pan :

Jegs has one of thier own brand #555-50200 that is the same thing. I have one on mine now. Its less expensive than the Mr.G but is not made for anything with a longer stroke or aluminum rods. BTW, mine is in the car and running with no issues with the power steering parts.

I have the finned alum pan but not sure of exact Mr G part#. No really baffle inside to speak of, even down by the pickup (bought mine over 5 yrs ago). I have a windage tray but nothing really keeps the oil in "place" or from sloppng around when driven hard. Sure looks pretty with all the other polished alum stuff I have. Still worries me, probably main reason I haven't started it up yet. At least that's the reason for the delay I keep telling myself.
Anyway, my P/S piston touches the fins at full left(?) turn position or at least when piston body is on drivers side. All new steering hardware installed. It appears a little massaging of the fins with a drum sander the dia of OD of steering piston body would solve this.
Hope this helps,
Later.
