Man! I just got my hopes up. Boooo.

PM sent. Thanks a bunch. Very appreciated.

know where I can get a tube pickup? oil pan isn’t much use if I can’t get the proper pickup tube.

yeah, it's in pieces. Probably contributes to the rubbing against the steering linkage.

Do you know where it's located? Can't find it in the service manual. I know there's that bracket for the transmission to the block, but what about the rubber one?

Man. Another thing - could the transmission mount be sagging and dragging the engine down?

Previous doofus owner put in a later slant with the wrong oil pan which is now cracked. Need a new one. Mounting in a 1966 Plymouth Valiant 200. In SoCal.

Do you know anyone that has early A body pans for sale? If not I'll make a thread in wanted or look in for sale.

Guy never responded. Another issue - the oil pan is rubbing on the center link. The back section of the oil pan looks the same between it and the earlier A body oil pans. Am I able to modify and dent it in? The pan's getting welded atm. The motor mounts look fine, not compacted - then again I...

Oh ****. I got no idea. Didn’t even think of that. Maybe? I’d need a reference. I’m guessing the insulator is a rubber piece? edit: here’s a pic. It’s dark out, so a better one will have to wait til tomorrow.

Does this look right to you?

Boo… Hoo… Sucks there’s no aftermarket oil pans for the 225 on the early A bodies. Does anyone have dimensions of the pan? Might make my own. Hah. Ahahah.

Yeah it’s a later engine. Blue block and 5 freeze plugs. I know the pan I need, just don’t have it. It’s the pan without a number stamped on it. Bulge in the middle. Don’t know where to find it either. There’s a guy near me selling the oil pan I need, I can only hope he actually has it.

My current oil pan is from a later A body that someone didn’t dent in, and now it’s cracked. Short of getting a proper used one, or denting this current one in and getting it welded, does anyone sell aftermarket oil pans for the slant six that will fit early A bodies without modification? Thx

Hey guys, it got worse. Turns out the oil leak was from a cracked oil pan. One of the many previous owners put in a slant from a later car that rubbed against the K member and made it crack in the front and another in the back. Gonna need a new oil pan or dent in this one and get it welded...
