I recently acquired an awesome period built 1960 283 SBC engine and Borg Warner T-10 transmission from the estate of a long time hot rodder. He had owned this engine since the early 60's and built it back in the day to install in his early Ford hot rod. The engine was likely built in the mid 60's and had been properly stored even since. All ports and openings were carefully taped shut so the engine was completely sealed. The engine and trans never made it into the Ford and I purchased the parts from the estate. Since the engine had later 461X heads on it and I had to open it up for inspection to confirm the condition, I decided to break the parts up into individual components so buyers could get just the parts they needed. The engine was loaded with trick parts from the early to mid 60's including 3782461 X camel back heads, 1962-1963 OEM GM 409 Carter carbs, Corvette trap door oil pan, Edelbrock dual quad intake, GM dual point distributor, Stellings breathers, and more. The last 2 pictures show the complete engine as it came to me. Over the next week, I plan to list the other parts from this engine/transmission combo. Keep an eye on my other listings for the other parts.
This listing is for the following item:
This is an original high performance trap door GM oil pan for 1957-1962 Corvettes with high performance 283 and 327 Small Block Chevy engines. This pan was reserved for solid lifter cam applications. This pan has a capacity of 5 quarts(6 quarts with the filter). It also has a trap door that lets oil return to the sump but won't let it go back in the other direction. This may also fit later years. Please confirm your specific application.
This pan is in good original condition as shown. It just came off of a 1960 Corvette 283 engine described above and shown in the last 2 pictures. This pan is complete with the required main studs/nuts, windage tray, and oil pump with pickup. This is an early production line correct pan with the factory spot welded reinforcement tabs on each corner. This is a very hard to find factory high performance oil pan. These true assembly line correct pans very rarely come up for sale and get snapped up quickly when they do.
This is your chance to own the oil pan you have been dreaming about at a GREAT PRICE. Don't Miss Out!
