And remember when you are putting it back together, don't over-tighten the bolts.
It is very easy to distort the pan.

If it was me I'd throw a new oil pump in it just for peace of mind. It's pretty cheap insurance. Thats just my thinking.

Vette(s): 74 coupe 4 speed 350, 54K actual miles, all original; paint, interior, engine, split bumper. #'s match. 2nd owner, no stress cracks.
Anybody have any suggestions of upgrading the oil pan.  Maybe chrome or alum.  The reason I bring this up, mine has a dent in it caused from the previous owner (maybe ran over a rock or something).  So I was thinking of removing it and replacing it.
THANKS, steve
