It appears that both Spectra make replacement oil pans.

Did I miss something again? Once again no offense intended but how is a 1990's Dakota oil pan with a different sump configuration legal on a 70's stocker? Can we now run any oil pan in stock?

This is an interesting observation since NHRA has a list of approved aftermarket oil pans for Stock Eliminator, unless the rule doesn't apply to OEM style replacement oil pans.

What I was told, might be wrong, any factory stock pan, unaltered, unlike "aftermarket" heads, rods, pistons, cams, fuel pumps, headers, fuel cells, wheels, tires, brakes, seats, radiators, intakes, ect. And they're called "stock"...the only thing stock anymore is the body, but that's why I like this class, reminds me of the street cars back before the turn of the century. (Love saying that)

For a real good laugh you need to take a look see at the oil pan the 283 novas are allowed to run......

My (few years old) rule book says OEM oil pan for stock, obviously interpretation of the rules is debatable, but I believe OEM means the same oil pan that was on the car when it was built.

Or the FE Fords. ;)

Actually, easing up on the oil pan rule is something that makes sense, especially since cutting the cross member is allowed for oil pan removal.

OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer. Not 'AS Originally Equipped BY Manutacturer'

Obviously this is still debatable, I typed in automotive OEM definition and got this-car parts that are identical to the parts used in producing a vehicle.

Spot on Alan, if I remember correctly it was the 390 school bus engine that opened the floodgates on all this oil pan welfare.....
