Re: Gen 6 BBC Oil pan?? UPDATE
I purchased the Jegs pan and it is very nice for the $$$. Not stock appearing but full of great features. I left the mounts off and engine went straight back and down, Frame clearance is ok however the steering linkgage touched so I clocked the idler arm and that fixed that. The steering will just touch on full turn lock. Hope this helps other down the road.

Re: Gen 6 BBC Oil pan??
Just an update. The jegs race type pan is not the best for this application. I have tried eurothane mounts,shimming the mounts and loosening steering(idler arm) and moving it slightly. The steering (inner tie rod) hits the pan on tight maneuvers. This is not a race car and Dad is not a fan. Some have said use solid mounts and shim them.Dad says he doesn't want it to shake like an old wagon. So back to searching for GM oil pan # 12495360. This is the only stock pan i can find for this application. Thanks to everyone for the input.

Re: Gen 6 BBC Oil pan??
Thanks for the input however those are the same pan that comes on all GM crate BBC and they are a truck pan. They will not fit in Camaro/ Chevelle/ Nova etc.
