oil pan fitment? - 02/11/18 04:37 PM

I am in contact with a Fella in France.
He has a mid seventies van with the 360, and is in need of a pan, pick-up and dip stick.
I have an '86 360 settin' in the garage.
Are they the same?
I'm guessing it should be the same, but wanted to make sure before I sent it overseas.
thanx! up

Both should fit bolt on fit-wise, but the van is probably rear sump like the fullsize trucks. Cars are center sump.

Thanx, up
I guess I didn't make this clear.
The 360 is out of an '86 van.
That is what I figured.
Just didn't want to find out I was wrong after it was sent to France.

As per my information seventies and eighties van are different. But you can contact the service providers to get more information before transporting it.

everything I have seen and used from a van works in the truck except the engine brackets that bolt to the rubber biscuts.

I have a 75 rear sump pan in the 85 truck now. 70s and 80s difference is 5 qrts and 6 qrts IIRC 70s being 6qrt

FYI...I used a 88 van engine with rear sump pan in my 85 truck. everything fit fine except the mounts pushed my engine over to pass side and slightly raised driver side and kept engine tilted in engine bay. enough pass side header tubes touched frame. something about the van chassis needing room for pedals/steering colum.

swapped my truck mounts onto the engine and got it straight with the headers have clearance on both side of frame like they should.

as long as 360 and as long as rear sump it is golden.

Thanx for the responses.
Good bunch of folks here. up

The pan, pick-up, and dip stick, are on their way.
Just over $60.00 from Northeastern Wisc. to Le Jolie, France, through U.S.P.S.
