Blue Point Crate - Oil Pan Fitment Issue

First off...I still have the '68 Olds 350 motor, but it needs a rebuild...I have a plan.

Second, the JEGS crate 350 is a Chevy clone but the oil pan is getting in the way of the steering arm/relay linkages. I need a front half clearance pan to fit to the Blue Point motor I got from JEGS. Any advice on this specific issue? I'm not sure what will be a match because JEGS has been vague on what this specific fitment is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...the motor should have been rebuilt (and will be if I can get it done).

Opinions welcome. Keep the snark to yourself.

Mike

Chevy 350s came in Chevelles which is basically the same chassis. What's the problem? Should drop right in.

Do you mean "Blueprint" ?? What car are you putting this in ? Like flem said the chassis should be the same as a Chevelle.

Maybe he got a motor with a truck's oil pan?
