They are getting very difficult to find now. It has now become common to get a later 5.9 360 oil pan and morph the rear seal are from a 318/340 pan.
Remeber you need a hand made drag link too. The stock one wont come close. It depends on how much of a full effort your making before I would worry about the hassle. PM me for details if you need more information. |

Did I miss something? No offense intended but don't you have to run a stock pan unless it is approved by nhra? I have several a-body 318/340 stock oil pans, are they that hard to find?

They're all center sump, Dakota pans are rear sump, stock, like a Chivvy. Horse power baby!

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......

![]() 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.
