1970 Buick GS oil pan/pick up help
 
Is a Skylark and GS oil pan/pick up the same?

First, the GS in 1970 was available with either a 350 or 455. They would have different oil pans and pickups, so for someone to help you, you have to clarify your question. Plus, only a GS 455 Skylark would have been available with a 455; the biggest engine a regular Skylark (non-GS) would have been available with is a 350 4bbl.

If my memory is correct from my days as a Buick tech, all 350 engines used the same pan and pick up.

Thank you Mark. We thought so too.. but the pick up we got will not go in the pan, as it is about an inch to long.

Is it possible the pickup is for a 455? Really stretching my memory, but I think the 455 pickup looked similar just a little deeper for the bigger engine. If Lyn Smith sees this he might have some idea too.

Thanks Mark. We will double check that.
