Re: Engine Pan Installation
The right side pan with the exhaust pipe slot might need to grind the flange a little to clear one of the right side forward oil pan bolts. That was the only pan conflict we found. You also may need to compress slightly the pans to fit. We cut little slots in the 6 frame bolts threads ends to receive a screwdriver to hold when installing the square nuts (facing down). The oil pan bolts secure the pans at 4 places. Also, even with powder coat, prolonged gas leaking from the carb may eat the finish. Some use lacquer or dope in that area.
