| Post subject: | 66 to 61 A-body oil pan |
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? DD

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