Product Details

Features

  • Polished aluminum pan with cooling fins for classic show-quality style
  • Includes front sealbolt kit for driver-side dipstick installation
  • Fits Chevy small block V8s, 265-400 CI, through 1979
  • Finned aluminum design increases surface area to help dissipate heat

Description

Classic Chevy small block engines built through 1979 use a two-piece rear main seal and driver-side dipstick — a different configuration than later small blocks, which requires a matching oil pan. This polished aluminum pan is built for that exact application, covering a wide range of small block V8 Gen. I displacements: 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, and 400 cubic inches.

Cast with exterior fins, the pan increases surface area to help dissipate heat while adding a polished, show-quality look to the engine bay. It holds 4 quarts, uses a wet-sump design with the sump located at the rear of the pan, and includes a 1/2"-20 drain plug thread with the drain plug and a front sealbolt kit included. This pan does not include internal baffling. The gasket, oil pickup, and dipstick are not included and will need to be sourced separately to complete installation.

Constructed from aluminum with a polished finish, the pan is well suited for show cars and street builds where finished appearance matters alongside factory-style fitment.
