Wanted: Chevrolet 216 oil pan

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Harry

We have collected quite a few late 40s and 50 216 but all are civilians. The few CMP pans are either on existing trucks or badly rusted and or punctured. And of course once you opt for the 235 or 261 the originald deep pan will not fit.

Now you could cut a civvy pan and mig weld a strip to make it deeper...... but the original military 216 had the dip stick in the pan..... not in the block like a civvy and then your oil pick up would need some mods as well.......

Personnaly I have not seen too many of the original deep pan.

Cheers
