F body oil pans?

` Are the factory oil pans for third gen f body v8s and different from the typical "passanger car" oil pan offered by most aftermarket suppliers?

I was thinking the sump may be a little different do to the exhaust crossover pipe.

But I do not have a stock pan and am looking to buy one.

Re: F body oil pans?

The pans for F, A & G bodies are all the same. The chassis parts that they are designed to clear, are pretty similar.

The ones for B bodies (Caprice), not so much. Trucks too, as well as Vettes.

Stick with Camaro, Chevelle, & Monte Carlo ones. (or the equivalent chassis in the other GM brands)

THe ones marketed as "fits all" should be the A/F/G unit since they will also install without complaint into the other ones.

Thanks for the info. Looking at listings on ebay seem missleading.

I see a lot of camaro/truck applications, which made me wonder.
