67 440 oil sump and engine mounts?

[peterlucas]

Hi a couple of things, my sump has a big ding in it and im going to replace it, my mechanic had a look and wondered what the best way to replace the sump is, can he just raise the motor a bit and replace it? if he is doing that i was going to replace the engine mounts, are both mounts the same as when i have looked at buying some i can only find 1 kind of mount , thanks

Be aware that the C-body pans have an extra concave area at the passengers side front corner of the sump to clear the idler arm. The aftermarket pans do not have this.

The '66 -'72 B and '73 C-body mounts are the same side to side.

does anyone offer a stock style pan with this concave? I have a 7qt pan on my 67 440 and yes, my idler arm is hitting it. So my choices are to either find a stock style pan or cut/weld a recess into my existing pan. which both ways require me to pull the engine to correct.

You dont have to pull the engine to remove the pan.

My engine sits back further than a factory BB car does, I do not have the room to lift the engine up enough to pull the pan out. I have less than an inch until my bell housing hits the trans tunnel and I need more than that for the oil pan to clear the X-member.
