Thread: Chevy 4.3 V6 oil pan question

Tweet

Don, yeah, I apologize for the humongous size of the photos, this is the only website I have trouble with, I put them on as literally postage stamp size, and they come out King Kong size...
Thanks for the help, If I can figure out what year my engine is, and what it originally came out of, maybe I can at least have a starting point. I'd have no problem spending 250 bucks, to gain added clearance for the oil pan... it's either that, or raise the engine up ( at this point, almost impossible to do, it barely fits under the hood now) or just say some prayers every time I go over a bump...

The 4.3 oil pan from a 4x2 steel oem shallow pan comes on a:

1987-1995 S-10/Blazer 4x2
1987-1995 S-15/Jimmy 4x2


You can buy a new oem type on Ebay for as little as $43.00

You will need get the oil pickup also for what ever pan you get.


The oem 4x2 shallow aluminum pan comes on:

BLAZER S10/JIMMY S15 05 (6-262, 4.3L), 4x2, exc. ZR2
BLAZER S10/JIMMY S15 96-04 (6-262, 4.3L), 4x2
ISUZU HOMBRE 97-00 6-262 (4.3L), 4x2
S10/S15/SONOMA 96-03 6-262 (4.3L), 4x2

The 4x4's use a deeper pan with the sump moved back.

Used cost $40.00 on Ebay


Some other 4x2 trucks and vans 1986-2005 4.3's come with deeper pans

I have been using it a long time, and won't switch. I have used others that were crap!

I wasn't busting your chops for the big pictures, I was just afraid someone had already said exactly what I was posting but that I had missed it because of having to scan back and forth. If your pictures are stored in your computer at about a 640 x 480 size you should be able to just go to the box below that reads "manage attachments", click on it, then hit the "brouse" box and find the pictures you want to download. Then simply select the one you want, click on "download" and the picture should come out at a good size on here.

Itoldyouso, I've used Photoshop & Irfanview, and never had any trouble on the HAMB, Fordbarn, or any other site, except this one... I think Club Hot Rod doesn't want me posting photos or something...lol
I'll keep trying, and THANKS for the info, that should get me pointed in the right direction....

On all the other forums I am on, I have to first download my pictures into my Photobucket, then copy and paste them into my post. But this forum is just a straight shot from that "manage attachment" box right to the brouse feature, then to wherever you keep your pictures. I'm the most computer challenged person on this planet, and I've even figured this one out, so it MUST be simple.

Now if only you guys could figure out how to size your pictures soooooo it wasn't like a wide view of 60 days around the world.Ya know,not all of us have a 60" wide screen TV for a monitor.

Old guys like me just get threw looking at one part of the pix's and by the time I get to the end of it,I forgot what was on the first part.
