I’m hopping that there is some one out there that can help me.... I had a 454 in my Youngblood last year and over the winter I ordered a 632.... told the builder it was for my jet boat but obviously here on the east coast these builders don’t know what a boat needs... went to install the motor over the weekend and the dam thing wouldn’t fit with an 8” oil pan. Sooooo I go to Jegs on Sunday and pick up what I thought was the fix. A Milodon 7 1/2 inch 10qt. Pan that said in the description that it was for marina use for jet boats...LOL... well not for a 632... after changing the pick up and doing a little cutting on the inside of the pan for the pick up I thought I was golden... wrong.... it looks like the stroke on this thing with aluminum rods it’s still just barely hitting the oil pan when I turn the motor over. It is not in the boat right now. I just pulled the plugs and was turning it over while on the engine stand. So I don’t no if anybody out there has a 7 1/2 inch pan that can clear the stroke of aluminum rods on a 632 Or can I do a little tapping and make this one clear. Any help would be much appreciated.

It is hitting on the front six bolts of the jet intake?
What type of engine mounting system are you using?
How deep and what style was the pan on the 454?
Try installing short jam nuts and trimming down the bolts. Of course, be careful not to let the pan contact the bolts, they will quickly punch a hole in the pan.
The 8" pan plus gasket should fit. Some oil pan manufacturers 8" pan is really more like 8-3/8" plus gasket.
Cheers,
Joe
P.S. Wow, aluminum rods?!
