Oil Pan

Time to swap the standard Holden VZ Commodore oil pan for the Holley LS conversion oil pan (Part No. 302-1) to suit B-bodies.

The 302-2 developed for A-body Chevs is not required (I hope!) as the Impala has the steering drag-link at the rear of the cross member and lower down, so there are no issues with the drag link fouling the sump.

Because the two lowest engine-to-transmission bolts picks-up the sump, the trans and engine need separating...

We lifted the 4L65E onto the workbench, ready for cleaning prior and hitting with a few coats of clear-coat.

With the sump off, we could have a look at the crank, underside of pistons and the base of the bores; looks pretty good...

A very nice product from Holley; good bit 'o kit.
