stroker oil pan problem

[79olds1985]

I have an 82 cutlass and dropping a 385 in it oil pan I have is hitting the center link. My question is what stroker pan are you guys using or what do I need to do. Its a 4.125 stroke pan.

I also have a sbc 385 stroker and I have the jegs street/strip pan. part #555-50220
Plenty of room. I have Schoenfeld headers and run a 51069R wix filter.

What mounts do you have?

 

[Grcrygtr44]

Moroso solid

Cool thats what I have . I ordered the miladon one because I had a fixed pick up to pum thats for 8 1/4 and the jegs pan is 8 inches.

Nice. Hopefully it will work for u. Good luck!

Any pics on how it looks? Did you use a stock draglink or the hotchkis one?

 

[Grcrygtr44]

It was a stock drag link at the time. I did a TRZ rack last winter so I have no pics to show u. Sorry.

I don't know how clearance is on the old blocks, but I have the stock pan on the 383 in my truck, late model block, and it clears the crank fine...

... I have the same block/pan in the '78 with stock motor mounts, and it clears the crossmember just fine as well.

No problems here the issue was it clearing the steering linkage. Which the new pan does. All issues resolved
