How to Check the Fit of an Engine Oil Pan

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Doug, I work with 20 great guys here in Saint Lois at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods. We are going to do some work for you today on expert village. This is a fantastic part, this is the oil pan and this clip we are going to be installing actually just checking out the fit of the oil pan. Okay the cool thing about this, this oil pan is from an outfit called Chevy Twos only, and they build pans just for putting V eights in old Novas, but we are hoping that the oil pan from that Nova because it's a similar set up to this car it has a cross member right where you want the oil pan to be. We are hoping that everything is going to clear there, we want it to clear the sway bar, we want it to clear the frame cross member. So Mark is doing a real good educated guess on this before her decided to install that pan to make sure that he has lots of clearance. We need to be able to move the pick up for the oil pan from the front and that's what this pan allows."
