Oil Pan Options/Which
So I am building a motor for my truck. 1980 block 350. The block has ability to put the dip stick on either side. The issue I have is trying to figure out what oil pan I want.
Is there anything special about fitment in the 67-72 vs all the rest? Cross-member clearance etc. Also for a street truck that might see a little work action should I consider an Aluminum pan? I really like the look and my motor is going to be black with Either Chrome or Aluminum accessories. Leaning towards alum. Or should I just go with a steel pan and call it good painting over to look good? My biggest concern wit hte aluminum is it breaking when hit on something vs bending.... What would you do?
