Looks like you're making good progress. If the oil pan that's on it is sealed up and working, why not use it? Is there a difference in a truck pan, and a van pan? The one off your 318 won't fit the 360. Inside of the motor sure looks clean!




The guy had to take off the oil pan to get it out of the RV/van. It sat in a garage uninstalled and rusted fairly bad inside. I have an extra stock 360 pan that I'll just put on, since I'll be going to an aftermarket pan for the built 360. This 360 is just going in because the 318 is done. It's still good/ok but needs to come out because I wiped a cam lobe and have been finding speckles in the oil. It's gonna come out and apart for an inspection. It's been rebuilt in 1999-2000, but should only have about 70k.

I also have a high volume oil pump I'll put in the 360 just because. I haven't had a good look at the oil pump on the $80 motor. It's been on the cherry picker and I just haven't had the guts to get under it and look haha
