Just about every avenue has been explored before with these engines. They are truly an Icon in the histories of automotive development and racing technology.

The 32/33 pan rail is different at the rear on the drivers side. Using
a latter pan on the 32 block leaves a gap about 1/2" wide and 1 1/2"
long in that corner. The early block has no provision for the vent on
the pan rail near the front. There are several different pan gaskets
available. G.M.
