Aftermarket Oil pan with Automatic transmission heads up.
Just wanted to save someone a headache. I put and aftermarket Oil pan on my 360 when I built it. Fast forward to install and startup with my 904.
Loud screeching noise on initial start. Of course some puckering with fresh mill. Turns out the torque converter shield was contacting the flex plate.
I was able to bend it out but the oil pan extended past the back of the block pushing the shield rearward. I wound up grinding down the pan edge
so it was flush with the block. I also trimmed back around the rear main seal curved area.
