64 Vette….Rebuild 2.0
- Thread starter 76zimmer
- Start date
The solid lifter engines in 63-65 had this extra quart pan with baffling and a windage tray mounted on main studs. Id like to get my “display” engine 365hp correct, but it might not happen that way....unless I change the pan on the engine in the car.
I would take that.
It probably came out of the assembly line as I was seeing light for the first time
This pan looks factory from the outside. It doesn't have the rails down the side that inter-connect with the stud mounted windage tray. Once installed you would only know that. 1963 - 1965 Corvette Pan, engine oil (327 engine with 350, 300, & 250 hp.): CorvetteParts.com
Its very similar, but the sump isn’t quite as long as the solid lifter engine pan...they hold 1 qt more.
I may make some engine changes in the future, and may use a different road race style pan (instead of a deep sump pan for ground clearance) then I could use the original pan on my display engine.

57 yrs old today. A few plans for the future.
Brodix IK180 heads. On backorder.
4 wheel factory 4 piston calipers and discs.
31 spline Toms outer axles w rebuilt and blueprinted spindle/bearing assemblies.
Toms offset trailing arms.
tearing down the 79 Vette rear assembly for parts.

Looking awesome as always Dave! I've liked that Vette since the first time I saw it, beautiful car, impressive build quality.
Is the factory 4 piston stuff a lot cheaper than say a wilwood 4 piston kit that's a lot lighter?
I kind of agree, put that pan on your model engine, and put a Moroso or something on the car. Or sell it and put a moroso on both with the money, ha ha

Why put more money into that small block? It deserves a big block! (and a four speed, but that's a different conversation....)

Heath...the Wilwood stock size is about 3x what factory stuff is, and bigger brakes are over 3k for the rears alone...Im not autocrossing, so factory will be a great upgrade over my drum system as is.
I already have a caliper set, will probably rebuild them and new slotted/drilled rotors.
Martin....never say never!

Fixed it for youPressurized BIG block stroker built to pull from 3500-8k, with a 9k redline and a 6 speed....... .?
All that braking power would be perfect in the twisties. Lol
9K redline with a big block? I know Dave did OK enough to retire early, but I didn't hear about his lottery win.

If Rick can spend his money, so can I!
I knew some smarta$$ was going to say something like that....
I'm glad I could be here for you...
