Thread: Change SB OEM Oil Pan To 7 Quart. Car Sits Low

Tweet

IIRC the novas bigger oil pans increased the sump forward by using a tube in the pan for the steering cross shaft to pass thru????????

And why do you think you need a 7 qt?

Sorry but could you clarify "IIRC the novas bigger................"

As the pan is going to be changed anyway, the larger pan was based from car forums, articles concerning the lack of sufficient oil available in the sump in a oem pan above 4500 rpm and recommendation of an engine builder in noticing the steep driveway that the car is parked on, back first that may one day starve the motor for lubrication.

I am very open to suggestions of what pan to use.
