From everything I have read a Toronado oil pan will work on a small block, my question is does it fit a 65 Cutlass frame OK , what pickup do you use and where the hack do you find one??

From what i have heard about the oil pan from a toronado is it designed very differently from a RWD car. I could be wrong but i dont think this will work.

Toro pans do fit the RWD chassis and all Olds pans fit on all Olds blocks (for the 1964-1990 blocks). On the other hand, if you are using a Toro pan for the mythical extra quart of oil, don't waste your time. The pan has a groove across the center to clear the FWD drive axle and this causes oil to be trapped in the forward part of the pan.

Thanks, I remember now reading about the bump in the center of the pan, I was just trying to find a way to increase oil volume without have to shell out $300. So I guess it's going to be a stock size pan.

You could always flatten the center of the hump down with heat, a piece of pipe and a big hammer.

i bought a 5 QT pan from summit for 60 bucks i think from their brand fit perfect so 5 qts plus the filter = 6 qts and u can use the stock pick up the sump just goes forward a bit more the dept is the same
