Guest Frank280z Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 I'm attempting to replace the stock GM unit on the engine with a 7 quart moroso. Will this be an easy task? I had it laying around and never bothered to use it. Due to ground clearance worries...But it should work. Anything I should look out for? The timing cover gasket? RR. main seal? Proper procedures...

DavyZ Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 Frank, if the oilpan is the extended type (sump is lower than stock) then you have got worries. If this is the type that extends out horizontally, it should fit fine wit no ground clearance issues. The only thing you want to make sure of is that your exhaust system will clear it on the sides--I'm 99% sure it will. Exhaust system already done, yes, no? When you change the pan make sure everything is spotlessly clean and use some Permatex sealer or something on the gasket. Also call up Moroso and ask them about the size of the end seals. Some pans feature the late types or the early types and if you get the wrong one, it will leak like a sieve!(sp?) or it won't fit and you could end up hurting the pan. Just be careful and everything will turn out fine. I swear by the gasket sealer... David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewz Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 I am running a 7 quart with a diamond shredder and have no problems. It does make a difference what pan you use. Just compare it to the stock one and measure it out. If the depth is too great you better skid plate it or don't use it. IMO!
