Re: Which Gen VI BB pan? (Lasse)
The stock 6 qt. pan fits OK; it's sump is a little lower than stock. I switched to a Milodon 6 qt.(with "cheeks") on the 79 with the ZZ/502 after I scraped the stock one too many times. I got the Milodon pan from Summit. I have the p/n somewhere.

Massvette, I would appreciate if you can find the P/N. I will arrange a freight of the parts from Texas to Sweden and wants to be right in the first place. :cheers:

Yea, the 502 pan is too long, busted two of em....last one was the last one, so i cut the pan, about one inche from the top and i cut a 5 qt bb pan the same way, welded the 5 qt sump to the 502, used the 427 oil pump and dip stick, and voila, no problemo.
Moroso also sells the 502 6 qt pan, road racing version, but u need to get their oil pick up screen to use that pan. Look at Summit part #mor20411
When u look at pans, look for GEN V/VI specific pans.

Re: Which Gen VI BB pan? (Lasse)
I have the same issues with my 454. The stock Gen VI pan is 9" deep. Great for capacity, but good grief, this thing sits way too low. So I am also going with a Milodon road race pan...it is still 7" deep, but 2" of clearance can make a lot of difference. Anyway, a local shop is getting this for me. I will call them on Friday and get the part # and post here...unless someone beats me to it.
Have a great Thanksgiving guys!

Re: Which Gen VI BB pan? (WA 2 FST)
Moroso also makes the road racing pan, for both gen IV and Gen VI motors.
I will post the part number for the moroso pan...don't forget, you have to get the oil pick up screen as well from either moroso or miladon, depending who's pan u buy.
