Need new oil pan. Should I Upgrade?

[Convert69]

OK, so I'm looking around for a new oil pan. No luck yet? But if I can find one (Help plz:pray: ) can I upgrade from the stock 4qrt to a 5wrt pan? If so, will I need a new pickup? :Do No:

Thanks,
Dave...

Check out TA1511D. It holds an extra quart. I THINK, It only works with duel exhaust as they did away with the exhaust cross over notch out. Powder coated black with a magnetic drain plug. If you dont want black you can go with the TA1511C. Also I used my original pick up tube.

I took a second stock pan, cut the bottom part off of one and welded it to the bottom of another pan. 7 qts.

I made this pan years ago when there was only like 1 available.

I'm guessing that Dave needs a small block pan for his Skylark.

Here's a stock pan:

I haven't seen an aftermarket deep 350 pan in a few years. I know someone was making them, maybe Kenne-Bell. As suggested some have cut off the sump area and added sheetmetal to make a deep pan.

Either way, yes you will need to fabricate a longer pickup tube if you go with a deep pan.

I'm not sure either of the one's listed above will fit my car? I have the Small Block 350, not a BB 455.
Thanks,

I've been thinking about this since the 340 holds 4 quarts. How did you modify your pickup? or did you leave it the same and just draw off the top? I have to check out clearance, but I would like a little more oil reserve there.

We just extended the tube as well.

No digital camera back then so I don't have any pics.

I should have asked. That looks like a great deal from 1A Auto.

Looks like a chevy pan. Corporate engine.

I was just gonna say that aswell.

I have an original Kenne Bell deepened pan if anyone wants a picture. No pickup with it but I can show you what one looks like.


Someone on here should have a pan for this guy.

I have one for a 68 350,,75.00 im in mass.508-612-1036:cool:

I do offer the modified 350 pan. I would need a good core in exchange. They come with a deep large capacity sump, front and rear baffles and a new oil pickup tube & screen. Price is $375 plus shipping, (with the core pan).
