Have a look at Morosco? I have one of their oil pans for my 1970 BB. Fits just fine and it even has "outriggers" towards the rear to expand the oil capacity.

Can't more accurately identify it now since the car is off having headers installed.

Do I have wrong pan or am I doing something wrong? Thanks,Bob
Had to put a new pan on my brothers 68. Used this Moroso pan. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/m...ette/year/1968

Fit just fine and he has Power Steering on the car.

All big block oil pans for Corvette are the same -- from '65 to '74 and it makes no difference if equipped with power steering.

There are two BB oil pans on the C3 classified forum. The owner is looking for price input, so maybe open a conversation with him about cost.

The summit racing photo of the pan looks like the one I have on my BB. Fits fine, doesn't come close to interfering with anything. It has trap doors inside to keep the oil from sloshing around too much.
