Re: summit oil pan and big block question

I run a normal Moroso 7 quart pan on my engine with no problems. The "Chevelle" pan just refers to a standard BBC car replacement style oil pan. Truck pans are a little different and Chevy II pans are notched for the steering linkage to pass through them since they had the linkage behind the k-member.

Deep pans also require a longer pickup tube to reach the bottom of the pan.
