droppin a sbc 350 into cutlass oilpan?????

[84ttops]

hey title pretty much says it... im dropping a chevy 350 into a 1984 olds cutlass... when i search for after market oil pans can i just use one meant for a 1984 chevy monte carlo or is there something different about the cutlass?

You should be fine with one from an '84 V-8 Monte Carlo depending on the year of your engine. Is it one piece rear main seal, or a two piece rear seal? I believe '88 and above were a one piece rear main seal block.

The dipstick switches sides as well, so make sure you pay attention to that when you order one :idea:
