non stock oil pans? / using a line lock

[79malibu]

anyone using an after market oil pan on a sbc in their g body? what depth sizes and what do you have. any fitment issues like kickouts in way of starters/headers?

anyone using a line lock? im wondering where the best place would be to put it since the proportioning valve is on the frame down below if it matters.

everyone uses a stock pan?

I ran a summit 7qt bumbed out pan and a moroso 7qt stroker bumbed out pan. I have no stater clearence problem. The only thing is i have to run a little shorter oil filter. Other then that they fit perfect.Pans are both 8.250 deep

I'm running a line lock on my 83 Cutlass Supreme, I mounted it to that bracket that is on the proportioning valve, the one that the bolts that hold the proportioning valve on, I think the bracket has the trans kickdown running through it. Easy install in that spot......

Well i forgot to mention the line lock. Mine is mounted on fender well just below break master cyl. No need to mount it by proportiom valve just meed to hook ot to the line that feeds front off pf master cyl

seems easy enough to me. so the rear hole is for the front?

I hooked up mine using a brake line tee, disconnected both front lines from proportioning valve and connected them to the tee, blocked one of the holes on proportioning valve, used the other hole to feed line lock, then ran the out line from the line lock to the tee. I know yours is in a different spot, but this was the way I hooked up mine, just to give you an example......
