Oil pans?
I have a 4 bolt main 350 out of a 78 Silverado that I am going to be putting in my 88 camaro because the 305 TBI started knocking. I want to get a set of 083 heads to put on, but I plan on using the stock intake and TBI, but I may need bigger injectors, I'm new to 3rd gen camaros so maybe you should tell me.
Anyway, will I be able to use the stock oil pan from the 350, or will I need to get an aftermarket one due to clearance? It may seem like a stupid question but I'm not sure. I'm used to working on trucks.

The truck's pan will not fit the Camaro chassis.
The stock pan off your 305 will not fit the truck block.
You will need another pan. Doesn't have to be aftermarket if we can figure out what you've got.
Does the truck have a pass side oil dipstick, or a driver's side one? If driver's side, is it in between the #5 & #7 plugs; or is it toward the front?

If you want a stock pan, the Summit cheapie unpainted pan fit my 400 in my 83Z. It not only fit, but had clearance for my TES Y-pipe too.
If you want a fancier oil pan, watch which one you get if you run Y-pipes.
