Thread: Oil Pan 67 Chevy Impala 396

Tweet

I removed the 283 W/ 3 speed manual with overdrive, Installing a 396 W/ Muncie 4 speed. The oil pan is hitting the drag link between the pitman arm and the idler arm. Cannot find an original oil pan for this car. After market pans will not work. Do not want to modify the pan. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Don

Did you try a moroso #710-20431 . It's notched for steerin' linkage clearance.

If that doesn't work email this guy
brian olson <brian@olsonmotorsports.com>
he can custom build any pan you need.

Did you try EBAY?

Have tried Moroso, can not help because of the lenth of their sump back to front. Have had no sucess so far on ebay. Another alternitive is sectioning the drag link. The 396 was an option in 67, GM has discontinued the pan. Hopeing to find an original.
Thanks for your help,

Hey BBBob, I mean HHBob this sounds like it's right up your alley.

One of our Senior Members has a big block 67 Biscayne, maybe he knows where an extra pan is.

i know what you mean about this subject, i went through the exact same thing, couldnt find a pan anywhere, i ended up buying a 7qrt. and notching it myself, was easy to do, just wish there were more parts out there for cars like these.........
