well ive almost got the engine sat in, go to put on the oil pan today, and bgoom.. an inch gap on the rear of the block .. i tried to use the oil pan off my 305 cause i thought it had to be an Fbody oil pan, and someone threw away the pan on the 355 going in it now so im at a stopping point (again ) anyone know what kind of oil pan i can use that will fit in my car and ont he engine, its a pre 80's block i believe 350 4bolt.. any help would be great, i have to have this thing running soon.. been like 6 months w/out a car thanks for the help fellas.

 

you need a pan to fit your block other than that most stock pan will fit the car. only differance in the pans is the front curved area being a differant radius. i'd guess you have a one piece rear seal pan on a two piece seal block.

 

Ede is right Ben, you also need an oil pan for a 2 piece main seal to go along with the correct flywheel, you should be able to find a cheapie chrome one locally for about 40 bux that will fit fine.
