1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Happy New Year everyone, I hope everyone is staying safe. I am looking for some advise. Refreshing my 396 325HP engine in my 1969 Chevelle. Looking for advise on an oil pan and valve springs. Thanks

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

The oil pan will be on the NHRA approved list if there is one. Valve Springs PAC

If this is legal................

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Not legal in Stock Eliminator.

Doug: That's a good combo, and the '69 Chevelle is factored to 325/316. My son's running the same combo in a '68 Camaro. Look over the NHRA-approved products closely.

I use the Moroso 20451 pan on mine. Fits well, but no room to spare on crossmember. Hangs a tick below crossmember as well. You will want the PAC conical springs #1427

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

I didn't think you could run that pan in stock? The sump is lowered. This is the pan I found however it won't fit on my Gen 6.

Get the Milodon 30710 NHRA accepted oil pan and send it to Stef's to have their trap door and scraper installed.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Box... MOROSO 20451 is a nice pan...MB.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Not sure why they'd push a high volume pump .From my own experience I will never use a high volume pump again.High pressure yes.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

It’s on the list

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

From the 2021 book

“OIL PAN
OEM or NHRA-accepted aftermarket replacement oil pan permitted, Windage trays and/or baffles permitted. Modifications of any kind prohibited.”

It seems to me sending a pan out to have modifications made may not be in accordance with the rule

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

If you use the Moroso pan I would give Scott Hall a call at Moroso and have them do more internal work to it. Barry

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

You can modify the inside of the pan as you like

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

You may modify it internally. You may not modify it externally, such as to lower, lengthen, or widen the sump, or otherwise expand it.


The addition of baffles, trays, scrapers, etc, is legal.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

FYI, Stef's had some REALLY nice pans on stock cores at PRI in 2019. We just couldn't seem to get them interested in talking to us. After a while, we just gave up.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Call Stefs direct and talk to Stan. I bought a pan for my super stock engine and they were great to deal with.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

At some point I may. But if I'm standing in your booth, looking at your products, wearing an engine builder badge, and there's no one in your booth except 4-5 of your representatives, I'd expect one of them to step out of their huddle about dinner and come talk to me.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

I have experienced issues on the approved SBC Moroso pan.
Bought a Milodon, fit perfectly and shipped it to Stef's.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Thank you for all the responses. We ended up purchasing a Champ Pan. Very impressive and a very good price. Even when you convert CDN dollars to USD. LOL

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

What part number pan did you use? I don't see any accepted Champ Pans listed for big block on the NHRA site, only the small block. Those are a decent pan for the money though.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

I don't believe the OP ever told us if it was a class-legal car.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Chipper, The CP207 according to their site ( specifications) is accepted.. It is exactly the stock GM part with no exterior modifications like the small block you saw listed. The CP 207 will sail through tech easily like all the stock GM pans not listed. I’ve been running them for years. Great folks , great parts. Hope that helps.

Dave, For info-Box Motorsports does have a legit stocker and has won class.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

They have a trio of Stockers....all orange. Should call it Team “C”. ;)

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

where does it say the 396/325 is at 316? just asking.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Thanks

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

It’s 316 in the 69 Chevelle only. Possibly why you missed it.

Re: 1969 Chevelle 325HP
 

Ah ok. I was looking at the NHRA list not what they claimed on their own site as accepted. But that makes sense. Thank you
