Using Shoemaker relocation mounts to put a B engine on the A engine A body k-member , anyone know if there are limitation to oil pans ? There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama & people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.

The ones that require some trimming of the Kmember pedestal. Perfect fit. Not sure this answers your Q so here's a BTT live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

They both have a notch to allow clearance for the steering idler arm on turns. Aftermarket pans will require mods. Coming up with a C-Body 187 pan shouldn't be too hard.

Many pans require k-member mods and other changes, but like stated above the C-body pan will fit, but may require a little more clearancing with 67-72 steering linkage. As to the first responce, there is no such thing as a slant/shallow center link for the late A's. There were two different links, early and late (67-72, 73-76).

Oh OK, one group for 67-72 & another for 73-76, now I got it . iirc the idler/pitman taper was the opposite & the ends turned 90 deg on 73-76 A live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

The early link has the studs pointing up with the tie rods about 90 degrees off.
