After banter with Phil on oil pans, I realized I don't know the difference between them. I have a 348 pan that is small and a larger 409 (show cars unit) that is up on my wall ready to be placed on my stroker motor. However, when I put the 348 engine I'm running in my wagon together, it has a completely different oil pan. I'm certain its a factory unit and being much larger than my smaller 348 unit, I assume its a 409 unit. The baffling inside of it is completely different than my new show-cars unit and looks better to my untrained eye.
I didn't take a photo of the oil pan on my 348 but the inside baffling looks like this spider looking piece. Does that mean anything? Thanks for any tips on identifying oil pans so myself and others can reference for later.
