I have energy suspension mounts.
They are just a little taller than stock rubber. I still had to notch my pan for cross member and inner tie rods. I have milodon 31187. About 2 1/4” center bolt hole to mounting pad for block. This is a factory big block car. Last edited by chris ok; 05-03-2021 at 10:00 AM. |

Thanks for that tip,I went on there site and they don't make anything like that for the Chevelle,appreciate the input. Adger That was my first choice for a pan when Dad started this project however he put a Gen-6 block in and that pan wont fit and I couldn't find any stock appearing pans for this engine. Went with the Jegs (Made in USA) and was pleased with the pan but the fit needs some tweaking. I ordered the Energy suspension mounts and a new stock replacement idler arm to see if I can find any wiggle room. Thanks for the inputs,appreciate it.

Problem I found w my 1970 Chevelle was the oil pan laying in the front tip of cross member and lightly on center link. The inner tie rods also hit.
I’m not sure if you have these issues or if this is a class car or a street/strip car. The energy suspensions come w a plate like their transmission mounts. So it effectively raises it an 1/8” approximately. Hopefully you get your dads car right. |
