• Baffled 4-qt. steel pan with a gold zinc finish for polished looks

Chevy small block engines built in 1986 and later use a one-piece rear main seal and passenger-side dipstick — a different configuration than earlier small blocks, which requires a matching oil pan. This gold zinc-plated steel pan is built for that exact application, fitting Chevrolet small block V8 Gen. I engines in 5.0L (305 in³) and 5.7L (350 in³) displacements.

The pan holds 4 quarts and includes internal baffling to help manage oil movement during acceleration and cornering. It uses a wet-sump design with the sump located at the rear of the pan, and a 1/2"-20 drain plug thread with the drain plug included. The gasket, oil pickup, windage tray, and dipstick are not included and will need to be sourced separately to complete installation.

Constructed from steel with a gold zinc finish, the pan adds a polished, show-quality appearance to small block engine bays while providing a durable surface finish.
