It turns out that maybe I spoke too soon about the block not leaking. I checked my coolant today to find brown foam on top. The coolant out the bottom is green. The oil on the dipstick is clear and good, but I guess I'll drain it out to check it all. It look like I'll be doing some work to...

I put mine under the speaker grill mid-dash. Taking the grill out to see if it stops having issues is on my to-do list. If that works I'll have to have a grill made out of delrin or something.

It's really easy to get over $100,000 in parts alone. They added in labor to reach that value, and it's reasonable. If you pay someone to build a really nice car it's going to take a long time and cost a lot of money. I couldn't have afforded my car if I hadn't done the work myself, but it...

Thank you for the kind words. I had not heard about the "lack of longevity" thing. That's concerning. I'll just have to hope for the best I suppose. I've had no leak issues as of yet. I've got probably 2000 miles on the car so far. I can't give an exact distance since the stupid GPS...

I got the car all back together and drove it about 15 minutes. No oil leaking, so that's good.

I guess I should add that I ordered this engine from Bouchillon Performance, but they subbed building it out to Arrow Racing, who is now out of business, but taken over by someone else that I can't remember the name of.

Yes...I know it's a b-body and I'm on an a-body forum. You guys just had info on the oil pan and I really appreciate the info and wanted to contribute what I found.

Here it is in the crate: And here it is in the car: It's 7 liters. It's an aluminum 6.1 block with 6.4 heads. It's lots of fun, but I have to be a little careful because even with 295/45/18s out back with 3.55 gears it gets loose pretty easily. I've been considering having the heads and...

What is it that you want to know about it?

Update: If you're using rear main studs instead of bolts, you may need to clearance the pan at the middle two bolts in the back. I had to do so and the pan now fits fine. The clearance area for me was around 1/8" horizontal vs 3/16" vertical. I had no problem with the bolt holes being in the...

I have a pan in hand now...it looks like it will just barely fit. Excited to get that in there.

Thank you so much! I have a 2" diameter tube on my rack(flaming river power rack) and about 4 5/8 to the bottom of the tube. Do I see right that the tube-to-pan measurement looks to be 5/8"? I only have about 5/32" between my rack and pan now, so maybe that'll give me the clearance I need...

I meant: The front of the pan has a bevel on both sides. Once the pan reaches full width after the bevel, there is a bolt on both sides(the first of many really). Those first bolts are directly above my steering rack. I was just wondering the height of the pan at that exact point. I...

Thanks for the replies. I'm running a Bouchillon 7.0 liter gen 3 crate with an aluminum block. As such, I have no idea on the internals since they can't provide them and Arrow racing(who built the engine for Bouchillon) is out of business now. You wouldn't happen to be able to measure the...

I'm considering this pan for my aluminum 6.1 block with a very leaky milodon pan. Other than the misclocked pickup attachment, has it worked out well? Is it leaky? Does it seem like they got the mating surface pretty flat?
