I checked out the oil pan and it says it’s for 1986 and up.. My Chevy SB is a 1971 - 350.. I will call them and see.. Thanks!!Thank You IndyCars!
I go to car shows and run around with other Friends to different events. I do not race but if Yours work fine I’ll order it…
So You use the road race one for different things other then road racing? Again; Thank You!!
Sure, if it works for the road racers, it will work for you on the street. It's going to be pricey.So You use the road race one for different things other then road racing? Again; Thank You!!
Indycars! Is your motor a 350 sb Chevy between 1969 and 1979? If so - wouldn’t the one you have fit mine? Thanks!!!Sure, if it works for the road racers, it will work for you on the street. It's going to be pricey.
The pan that I used is for a two piece rear main seal. You will want to make sure it's the correct pan for your application. Use a one-piece gasket.
I would also put some high temp magnets in the pan. Four or five 1/2" magnets would be good, I also put them in the engine valley.

No, I used an after market block manufactured by Dart , model was DartSHP. It's a 400 CuIn SBC. If your block was made in 1960"s, then it must be a 2 piece rear main seal.Indycars! Is your motor a 350 sb Chevy between 1969 and 1979? If so - wouldn’t the one you have fit mine? Thanks!!!
When I bought it 2 months ago it runs great but I just can’t get past the oil pan being so low…. It’s the thin gasket…. Thanks for all Your Help!!!!

But there is one more dimension that is needed to get the right pan gasket .... sorry if this is confusing. We can get the right one with a few questions and answers.
You will want to confirm which gasket you need. Read the article below, but I have included the important text from that article. Let us know what dimension you get and then we can go from there.
SBC Thick and Thin Oil Pan Gaskets - Which do I need?
How to pick the right small block Chevy oil pan gasket. We look at a 350 Chevy oil pan gasket and help you identify what thick or thin gasket you will need.www.speedwaymotors.com
If you are not sure of the original application or model year of the oil pan you plan to use for your small block Chevy build, you can take two simple measurements to determine the correct oil pan gasket needed. By measuring the width and depth of the front seal area you can confirm if the oil pan in question uses a thick or thin oil pan gasket.
Are you assembling the engine or having it done ???
- Thin oil pan gasket will measure 5-1/2-inch wide and 2-1/4-inch deep
- Thick oil pan gasket will measure 5-3/4-inch wide and 2-3/8-inch deep

Thanks Longjohn!You will have to take the pan off but you could add extra plate like .120 (11 gauge) or even a piece of angle iron on the front edge of the sump.
