Oil Pan on a 390
I recently purchased a new oil Pan for my 390 and have found that it and the orignal differ. Both pans have what seems like a splash plate or slanted piece of sheet metal that resides in the rear of the oil pan. On the original, this piece is split down the center and curved down on one side. The new one is a solid pice and does not have the slit or half slant.
Can anyone tell me why this is so, and if the new one is the worng part? Would the new oil pan have clearance issues with the crank when installed? Thanks much for any help. Don |
pan...(orama)
Bet its a chrome offshore piece.
As long as it clears the crank throws, rod nuts and other engine internals it will work. You will have to check clearances carefully...these pans are good for a stock passenger car motor and provide very little oil control. If you "work" your car/motor at all, this pan with a simple floor baffle might not provide a proper oil supply to the pickup and pump. You might consider a Canton pan.......there are two models availiable that will work in a Cobra configuration. |
