I have just realize that I do not have a Chevelle type oil pan on my redone BB. I need a stock appearing oil pan for a BB 454. I see prices all over from $29.50 on ebay to $400 for jegs or summitt. I know cheap rarely gets a good product. Any recommendations on whats a good buy for a 70 Chevelle Big Block?

Stay away from the chrome cheapo offshore pans as they will leak, unless you grind the chrome off so the mating surfaces can seal.
I believe you can buy a new stock pan from somebody. Not exactly sure who is selling them. Check the aftermarket parts catalogs.
I do know that GM sells them. I think they run about $160-180 ??

Your best bet is to find an original for about $50-$100.
I've sold 3 used pans in the last year. $75, $100, $150. All depends on condition.

Chevy 70 SS Vert,

I dont know if you can wait until spring, but I picked up a new one from a guy that's at the Woodlands swapmeet in KC. He's usually there every year. I think I paid $40, and it fit perfectly. Scot

i just ordered a stock pan from sallee chevrolet in oregon for $127 plus shipping. havent received it yet but keeping my fingers crossed that it is going to work with my windage tray.

I run a stock replacement Milodon pan on my 454..less than $95 @ Summit.

Ditto to what Chris said,,,,I used that pan on my old motor,running a Moroso 6-Quart kicked-out pan # 20401 with pickup # 24440
now on the new one.

how about this one;
SUM-G3510X (http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=partdetail.asp&part=SUM%2DG3510X&N=100&Ntk=PartSearch&Ntt=sum%2Dg3510x) $33.99 from summit
can anyone comment on if it will fit properly or not???

Cool..I didn't even know you could get one that cheap.
It looks like its the correct stock pan.

Competition Products has an aftermarket one that looks pretty close to stock for $50.
