BBC oil pan question. (Hambergers)

[Ed Cannon]

Got what I think is a weird problem. My BBC Hamburgers oil pan has about 6 less bolt holes than my block. Anyone run into this? There's only 1 part number for the BBC pan style I have. In the pics at Jegs you can see the first pan at the bottom has less holes,and the other pics show more holes.

The guy at Jegs had no answer. Gonna call the maker tomorrow.

It's so it will clear the stroker cranks. I've had some Hamburgers pans in the past I hope yours doesn't leak like the ones I have had.

 

[Ed Cannon]

I'm guessing your right. But doesn't explain the pictures. I may just sell this one and buy another, I don't want any leaks.

It may be pics that got mixed up. If money is no object have Steff's build you a pan. I did a BBC build last year with a 4.250 stroke and used a Stock GM 70 Chevelle pan.

Money is getting tight on this thing. I may just use my gasket as a pattern and drill my own holes.

I had problems with the pans leaking around the front. I had to beat on both of the ones I had with a hammer to get them to seal.
