Oil Pan Fitment

Okay just bought a 355 out of a 67 camaro. I was thinking of things that might be a problem when I thought about the oil pan. Could anyone tell me if a 67-69 camaro oil pan will clear the crossmember on a 88 Iroc. Thanks for the help.

Oil pan should fit as long as it's not too deep. Also make sure that where it "lips down" is about the same angle as your stock one.

A '91 305 oil pan won't fit a '67-'69 350 block.

Ya the 91 305 pan has a 1 piece rear main seal while the 67-69 350 has a 2 piece rear main seal. Also the dip stick location is flip flopped.

Somebody doesn't seem to be following the dancing monkey - The year of the car ('82-'92) doesn't matter. The year of the engine does matter.

If the 350 out of the '67 is of '67-'79 vintage, then no factory 3rd gen oil pan will fit the block - period. You need an oil pan made for that older type of block.

Most likely, the oil pan that is currently on that engine will fit in your chassis just fine. But, with an engine that's almost 40 years old, it's impossible to say what modifications may have been made to it. Therefore, whether or not the oil pan that was on the engine when it came out of the '67 will work in an '88 is next to impossible to say without actually seeing the pan.
