Oil Pan

[ridinregal87]

Hey there, I'm going to be swapping a sbc 383 into my 87 Regal. As I was having it dynoed, one of the guys mentioned the pan looked a little too low for a regal, and might drag. Anyone have any input and/or photos of a sbc oil pan that fits into a Regal? I'd like to find out if I need to replace it before I put it in the car. While I'm at it, any suggestions on motor mounts? Thanks in advance.

a Regal is no different than any other G body as far as the engine placement. What kind of pan do you have?

It's a 7 quart pan. Not sure of the brand, it might be this summit one, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g ... /chevrolet. That's what it looks like. I'm worried about it dragging on the ground.

If its the pan you listed or even moroso brand you will have no issues. The pan is almost flush with frame. I use both that pan and the moroso.

Wonderful. Just wanted to double check before I dropped it in. Guess it wouldn't have been to big a deal to do a test fit, but I'll take all the info I can get. Thanks everyone.

before you bolt the pan on make sure you have a windage tray or your oil pressure may drop when you accelerate hard
