Re: Oil Pan Fitment

Im looking for some answers on this also. I built my 383 with a stock pan and stupid cork gaskets, its now leaking and I want to replace the gasket so I was thinking of replacing the Pan also while it is out.
What did you end up doing?

I don't have any personal experience with those pans, but the kick-outs usually get in the way of 3rd gen exhaust.

Re: Oil Pan Fitment

I have a pan similar to the first one. Stock exhaust wont clear pan. Long tube headers are necessary.
