Why is it so hard to find a buick 350 oil pan?

[MrSony]

My oil pan on my SBB has seen better days. It has some minor pinholes in it that can be welded, and I plan too. Is the pan aluminum? It's a '77 block. Also, why is it so damn hard to find an after market one? it's near impossible.

Finishline seems be nothing but BBBuick stuff. Nothing I need either.

I don't think its the right pan or at least not the one he needs that looks like a chevy pan, but still a good resource

I'm in Iowa. That's a bit of a stretch for me.

I wouldnt be shocked if it was a stock photo. But if you search their site under parts for a 77 Buick Century it comes up so I would at least consider contacting them.
I know I would try and find new repo one before I put a 35 some year old used one on.

Are you on www.v8buick.com at all? Probably wouldn't hurt checking their classifieds too. I checked TA Performance thinking they might have something, but only BBB and V6 pans from what I saw. There's also car-part.com if you don't mind used.
