Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

What oil pan fits a 3rd gen F body with an early, L side dipstick, small block? Looking for a larger capacity than stock and have a factory K member. Like to find one with the windage tray built in the pan.

I got one from Competition Products awhile back, 7qt. It fits with the stock K-member. $130 maybe.

I have a Moroso 21017 on mine. Called 7 qts. Clears my Stock K member. The sticker on the box says "pre 1980 blocks".

Is this the Competition Products pan you used?

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

That appears to be the one. It's in my 1983 Camaro right now on a 385. Moroso makes one specific to these cars. I thought the Comp Products one was a good deal for the money but never seen any testing to see how well they work. Think it was $129.99 when I bought it.

Sometimes you get what you pay for. Lots of R&D in the Moroso pans.

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

True. For my application if the car runs 12.50 or 12.10 it still fits in the foot brake bracket. But yes the Moroso pan would make more HP on a given combo. At least that's what we would think, never know until it's tested and verified.

I used a Milodon, but not thrilled with the kickouts on the sump and full length headers.
What other pans will fit? The competition products one measures 10.5" long at the sump, will tat fit the factory K member? Hamburgers is the same. I called Stef;s and they said their B&B 91088 was to deep at the front and it would hit the K member.

That Moroso is nice, just a little pricey.

The Competition Products one fit on my 83' Camaro. I bought the Moroso one for the 360 we just built. Moroso pan, pickup, rear baffle, and Schumann pump.

Brian,
Is your Comp Products pan 10.5" long in the sump? How close is it to the crossmember?

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

Moroso 👍

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

I had a Milodon, it hit the ground on landing, if the wheel stand was very high. Ended up too close to the oil pump screen. Moroso has not hit so far.

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

I have a Milodon laying around that was on the last Stocker 305 I had built. Remember it fit well. The 305 didn’t catch much air in the Camaro. I’ll measure the Comp Products pan next week I’m in El Paso headed to Chicago and Milwaukee next.

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

Are we talking NHRA Stocker legal or other?

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

My car is strictly a bracket car with a stock K member and solid Moroso mounts.

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

I made a sketch of the pan and K-member clearances. From front of pan to sump is 11". Distance between front of sump and K-member is 1". Distance between bottom of pan, non-sump area, is 1/4"-3/8". Not sure if the sketch will attach.

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

Thanks for the sketch! I see it's pretty tight between the pan and K member, are you using solid motor mounts?. I'm debating notching the K member when I have the motor out.

Again thanks for measuring and have a Happy New Year!

Re: Oil pan for 3rd gen f body SBC
 

Solid Moroso motor mounts and stock K-member.

Old motor is still in the car. This is a Milodon 30900 which has the stock front section style pan that is tapered at the front. I pulled the diaper back to measure and it is tight between the centerlink and the K member. I have Moroso solid mounts but they must make taller ones than mine.
