hey guys i just took out my engine to day and realized it was a 7 bolt motor. i was wondering if the 7 bolt oil pan would fit the 6 without causing any problems? so now i have to buy a new flywheel. and i think the last owner had bought a new head for it because it has a warrenty tab on it. heres some pics.

 

no, i dont think the 6 bolt oil pan will fit, one or the other has an extra caved in spot on one of the sides, i think it is the 7 bolt

 

HHAHA is that a 96 astro in the back ground in the first pic?? my mom has one, it is the truck version, has a 4.3 in it, truck engine, frame, transmission, it is quick as hell for a van

 

yea thats my dads and he makes up for it by having a 6.6 duramax desiel with a jucied chip and 6inch piping (i help put on) i dunno the muffler but it sounds cool

 

in thatchevynext to your car in that one pick?? thats badass

 

Fixed it for ya so people dont have to click the links

 

ya hes right about the oil pan.. Is that a 93-94 eclipse? Looks like its in pretty good shape..

 

i was about to say that. that is a clean 1g from what i can see.

edit, why did you take the whole knuckle off? not just pull the half shaft out so you could still roll it with the wheels on it?

 

yea, it is clean, and i think it is because it is easier to pull out the tranny if you take the whole knuckle/wheel assembley off

 

so you dont think the oil pan will fit?
