Title: Oil pan hits intake need help.
Post by: NastyNate on August 17, 2013, 02:17:58 PM

I'm running a stock oil pan and need to know how can I get it to fit in my Hondo. It's hitting the intake. Anybody have an easy fix? Besides buy a new one. Trying to just use it for the remainder of the season. Thanks.

Short of having a Shorty drive shaft made and moving the motor forward you are pretty much stuck with the new one thing.

Nate, define "stock". BBC pans come in two common depth ranges.  "Stock" automotive pan is shallower then "stock" truck. Truck pans will not work. What is the pan rail-to-bottom of rear of pan measurement?

It was a stock truck oil pan. I figured that out after some research. I'm good now I found a guy in Craigslist that had 10qt for $10. Scored big time.

Thanks for the help.
