Okay, I've got a '73 slant six from a Swinger and its going into an '80 Volare Duster (F-body). I have the right motor mounts now (thanks Dennis!), but will the oil pan on the '73 slant clear the F-body K-member okay? Does anybody know?
I would like to know as soon as possible PLEASE!!! Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

The F-Body pan has the smallest of all sumps so I would say that the 73 pan will not fit into the F-Body.
The F-Body pan is the blue one, second down on the right.

Thanks Doc.:) Next question: I have an oil pan from an '80 slant six that was in an F-body, will this '80 pan fit the '73 slant? I hope so!!!

Yes, all SL6 oil pans will bolt to all years of SL6 engine blocks, be sure to keep the oil pick-up tube matched with the pan you use.
