Will a Vette oil pan work in a thirdgen?
Just wondering so I don't get a big surprise when I go to put the engine in. It's a '91 Vette L98 motor.
Probably, but dont quote me. The only crossmember clearance issues between SBC cars that I have heard of was 1st gen Novas. Go for it! It is not hard to replace if it comes you need one from the scrap yard.
I don't know about the later 'Vette oil pans, but some of the earlier (higher performance models-not 'base' versions) small block 'Vette pans would not fit most other (Chevelle, Camaro, etc) chassis set-ups.
The sump extended forward (relative to other small block pans) and held an extra quart of oil. Counting the filter, some of the earlier 'performance' 'Vettes held six quarts.
