Looks bad ***!

 

So all needed to do was cut the factory crossmember to make it fit? I got my C6 pan/pickup tube waiting to go in.

 

They told me to flip it around and modify slightly. They also make a cross member you can purchase if you don't feel comfortable making the needed modifications. Don't forget to knock the dipstick plug out of block before it goes in.

 

We have a very simple solution as well...instead of changing out the whole pan/etc we have our own pickup tube which fixes the problem (what GM should have done from the start). Instead of picking up in the front of the pan, it picks up in the middle where it is the most deep, so no more starvation. Cheaper too than doing the C6.

Pickup Tube Relocation

 

mine has a custom Milidon pan with a remote oil filter mounted to the front crossmember. I will try to get some pictures of it tomorrow. You will love the 402... they have some serious grunt! Hard to hook mine with the 3600 convertor and 4.10's, but it will still go 12.80's on regular radials. Engine is really mild, Alvin did the cam for it.

 

Ya it sounds nice! I don't know who Alvin is I always do my own cams. They rarely disappoint.. I do several a year tho not a ton probly 20+ a year.

 

great info here.
