On certain buick V-6 motors, the oil pan must be worked to clear the engine crossmember. Does the SB Chevy motor need to be worked also? Or are there specific pans that will clear the crossmember?

I have the aftermarket Milodon 6-qt. pan and it misses the crossmember perfectly by 1". It's almost as if it were made for the truck.

moroso on mine it just squeeks by probably about 1/2 to 1" clearance i think mine is a 7 quart my headers are closer than the cross member only about 1/8" on the passenger side between header and kickout on pan. later

i used to have a stock truck pan on mine and it also had about an inch or so. Now I have a polished alum. pan that is about the same size.

I have had 3 sb chevy Luv's over the years. One was bought for parts but running,the one I have now was a small block when I got it. And I had one I put a SB 400 in but sold the engine before I finished it. All had stock pans.

stripped and just a memory!

I have a moroso, that was made for a specific chevy- like a vega or nova- but i dont remember. I know that it looks bad! It clears.

the buick V6 out of a buick skyhawk does not need to be worked.
incase you need to know.
