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

Tweet

just keep in mind that if your doing this because you park on a hill---that no matter what pan you use-----the oil will be at the front and your pump at the rear------Measure the angle of the parking spot------


And as for the circle track pan-that's a competition pan app and probably has an elaborate windage tray/trap door layout so it will be better at getting high rpm oil sling off the rotating parts back into the sump. Since the Nova was never a road race type car, I doubt if you would find many comp style pans to fit that crossmember/steering set up-------

IIRC, I think that you can reverse your spindles and install a rack and pinion steering gear for front steer that will give you more clearance by getting rid of that OEM steering cross shaft link .
