The short answer is NO!
NOPE!--I had to buy one for my 86 305 motor ,and I wasnt happy,because I had a nice one for the older 2 peice rear main motors
.. A new one goes for about 60 bucks from aftermarket sources like autozone--I got one in the SPI brand for 30 bucks from a place I found online about 100 miles from me--after I drove there to get it,the one peice rubber gasket they claimed came with it wasnt included after all--another 20 bucks at autozone for their "cheap" version of a Fel Pro gasket(called "Ultra Seal",in a plain white box with Fel-Pro's name on it--fifteen bucks cheaper than a "Blue Seal" Fel Pro--looked exactly the same to me!)and I was ready to install!!--I later learned the SPI company has an outlet in the next town over from me,I could have bought it there with the gasket for less than 60 bucks!!
I didnt really look that closely,but two of the things I noticed as far as differences in the pans are where the dipstick goes in,and the way the pan fits around the rear main--and my starter would not bolt up to the 305(mine was from a 250 six,the regular "staggered bolt pattern one V-8's use also),the starter has a slightly different angle on the nose,to tilt the solenoid away from the oil pan "hump" where the dipstick goes in--I fought with the original starter for a half hour,couldnt get both bolts in it!!!--good thing I pirated the starter from the donor vehicle...

i am wondering because me and a freind are swaping a older engine into a s-10 blazer so he can drive it while the other engine is being rebuilt and the 4x4 s-10 have a different oil pan would my best bet be to modfy the other pan by cutting and welding it to fit or should i modfy the newer pan to fit the older engine

55-79
then 80-85
then 86-up
for oil pans
good luck
