I am currently putting a 1961 slant six 170 into a 1966 Plymouth Valiant- and I'm encountering some issues with the oil pan hitting the K-frame. The engine is out of a '61 Lancer. I checked the oil pan for a part number, and it is stamped with 987. The engine came out of an A-body car, so I figured it would work. Could anyone tell me if I can make this pan work and if not then what style/year of oil pan do I need?


Thank you for all the help.

The 60 - 66 A body pan does not have any numbers stamped onto it so it and it has the sump pretty far back.
It sounds like you need to swap-on the correct oil pan and pick-up tube to get everything to fit.
Is the crankshaft rear counter bore the correct size for the torque converter?

Yes, the crankshaft is the correct size for the torque converter.
