Re: [Chevelle-List] gen V & VI pan

GM probably made a deal of some sort with the aftermarket so they (the aftermarket) could sell pans for the older cars!     cYa-   Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino, LS6, 6 spd ACES 3509 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ ----- Original Message ----- From: 396guy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2002 3:25 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] gen V & VI pan Kinda makes you wonder why when GM recommends these engines for "older" cars they don't include an oil pan that fits.  I think I've seen either Scroggins/Dickey or Pace had pans to fit but it should be a no-brainer on GMs part.  You buy a pan-to-intake crate motor and spend $4500-$7000 it should come with the correct pan for the application or at least have a swap-out program for it.   Dale If the pans they're selling come stock on 502 crate engines, then the pans won't fit the cars they have listed because those pans are, if I remember correctly, truck pans and won't clear the crossmembers on the older cars.  That's why Moroso, Milodon, and various other companies make replacement pans for the Gen V & VI crate engines.   I guess as always, buyer beware, and research the project before spending your money.   cYa-   Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino, LS6, 6 spd ACES 3509     ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 11:03 PM Subject: [Chevelle-List] gen V & VI pan hear alot of ya messin with 502's, thought someone might be interested in this..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1830651628                            Rob Means "be good,if not,be good at it     [EMAIL PROTECTED]
