    Are the 170/200/250 oil pans the same?

    My thinking is all will fit, the 300 is the odd one? I agree with Frank, Jamie will know. I have one of each of the 6 bangers that came in these cars. Will be interested for the news.

    What he said. 170/200 will swap, 250 is different.

    The flange is different. The length is the same I believe.

    the 250 is taller and i believe the motor and/or frame mounts are slightly diffrent as well. the length is the same between all the small 6's

    the 240/300 blocks are compleatly diffrent, theyre longer and taller and have no interchange with the 170-250's
