Oil Pan Question...
I'm going to be swapping motors in my 'vette.
I have 2 options
the first is the '88 roller 350 from my Camaro
the second is a pre-86 block
Can I use the stock oil pan on either of those motors?
If not, what do I need?

The lowest price I know of on the Canton Corvette Road Race pan is $260, if that helps. Forum member "No Go" found that price, I gave like $290 directly thru Canton.

Re: Oil Pan Question... (superlund)
I've installed a Canton Pan on mine while the car is down for cylinder head work. As Superlund alluded to, No Go found a place that has a decent price. Here's the link...

It's a very high quality pan. I did have to do some very minor trimming of the windage tray (it unbolts from the pan so not a big deal) to clear the oil pump & pickup. I wrestled with it for 3 hours over two days before doing that.
In addition to the pan, you have to buy a new oil pump pickup as well. Total for me for the pan, pickup, and shipping to St. Louis was ~$310
