THANKS GUYS !!! The carved up pan? i was going to pitch....but then discovered its really very nice to use for "clearancing" the oil pump pickup !!!

got super tired of looking and not finding the correct pan.......geeesch waht a pain made my own combo of a 1957 347 pan and a 1968 Catalina pan......fits perfect now.......ill get it blasted and a repaint!!!!

awesome !!! im in contact with a person who has a pan like this...i think i will try it to see if it in fact will work

FROSTY....bONE STOCK BOTTOM END....ORIGINAL PAN WAS REALLY BEAT TO HECK....NO LONGER SERVICEABLE

no.... it was from a 1960 bonneville

still using the bolts my friend

the above pan appers to be what i need???? no sheetmetal spot welded inside the pan,for a baffel, and notice the dimples in the front for the main cap bolts

i have tried a 1957,1965, 1968 and a 1973....none of them will work....they either hit the small windage tray in the back by the oil pump.....or they hit the front crank main cap bolts....or both.....soooooooo no not just any oil pan will work

anyone have a oil pan for a 1960 389???

running a edelbrock AVS2 650 cfm carb

Thanks Frosty !!!! I do have a new Aluminum radiator made for a 55 chevy Ill adapt in there !!!

hey everyone !!! i drive a 1957 pontiac...........hopefully i can have any of my Pontiac questions answered here !!!!..........why do all my pics show up here upsidedown??

I found a 1960 389 to build for my 57 pontiac....needed the 59-60 389 because i wanted to use the current 4 speed hydromatic in my car.........it was missing the heads and badly needing a rebuild I have never built a pontiac motor before,the 347 runs good....but honestly not good enough,and id like a bit more power +347`s are very expensive to rebuild I found a very nice set of #15 68 pontiac heads......they are at the machine shop being rebuilt an NOS edelbrock p4b intake (with 2inch riser) and new 650 edelbrock AVS2 carb a Nos 068 pontiac cam and lifters (a freind had this and gave it to me),and set of 1.5 roller rockers HEI distributer Stock bore 400 Badger pistons/rings (.060 basically for the 389) running a PCV system rather than the crappy road draft tube Im not looking for anything radical....just a good running strong motor hopefully making 300 hp? What ya all think? cant figure out how to flip my pic!!!!!
