Thanks Nate! Just for clarification, if I order the Holley 302-2 pan I'll be good with a Mild DM?

Yes. It will fit with the Mild DM.

Here is the link to the summit page where I got my info
http://www.summitracing.com/search?S...word=oil%20pan

below are the two pans. Both on the link above

Chevrolet Performance 19212593 - Chevrolet Performance Musclecar Oil Pan Kits
Holley 302-1 - Holley GM LS Retrofit Engine Oil Pans

intherut · 09-16-2014, 03:29 PM

This is what I got on my Gen V from Jegs:

Chevrolet Performance#809-12495360
Oil Pan 1991-96 Big Block Chevy Gen V/Gen VI
4-Quart Sump Depth: 8.03"
Fits early model Chevelle/Camaro

I am in the process of finishing the motor. Once that is done then I will go on to doing the Porterbuilt DM. My goal is to lay frame and I am hoping this pan will work. Take care.

I may be wrong, but the F-body pan depth is only 5" per this diagram...

http://southernperformancesystems.co...imensions.html

This link has the dimensions of just about all the pans for this particular application...

PBFAB.COM · 09-16-2014, 04:00 PM

Here's what I am going to do.... Over the next several days I will put together a write up that shows which pans we recommend and what components will be needed for the conversion. This is something I have been working on for the site (just been waiting for our wholesale account to be approved so that we can sell the parts straight off our site).

I will make sure to get some good info together!

Holley's specs for the 302-2 pan

Question about my Mild DM motor mounts...

I have the SBC mounts (new in packaging) but I'm contemplating putting the 468 out of Chubby into Walt. What mods are involved in going to BBC...or anyone interested in trading

.

Thanks,

Thanks,

The SBC and BBC for the Mild are the same mount. Just a matter of bolting in the new motor!

Thanks Nate...you're the man.

I thought they would be the same too, but I saw on your website that the pulldown had SBC, BBC, or LS, so I wanted to clarify.

Thanks again!

Just another extreme drop member pic. Finally got it rust protected and installed. Great product Nate and your welders are flawless!

Nate... I bought and installed the Cpp nodular 2" drop spindles but they didn't need reamed out. The DOM joint dropped right in. I'm guessing the smaller diameter of the conical hole is a little over what is required. If I tighten this up nice and tight it should be ok, right?

Do me a favor and send me some pics to tech@pbfab.com so I can put my eyeballs on it and see exactly what you have.

Thanks!

Just wanted to drop a line and ask if you have anything special for 1 ton trucks or are most removing and replacing the front crossmember?
"Also wanted to be able to go back to old posts and find your contact info easily".

Same situation I ran into. You're going to have to bore it larger and then use a sleeve.

DC43 · 01-05-2015, 12:34 PM

Thanks for the reply Nate. Looking forward to running a dropmember on my truck.

ChuckDriver · 01-05-2015, 08:02 PM

Just measured my CPP Nodular 63-70 spindles after reading through this. Got the coil-over Dropmember for my 57.

Mine measured at the large end at .600, the small end at .510.

The bolt supplied by Nate measured .620, so the spindle will need to be very slightly enlarged and should be a nice tight fit!

resto newbie · 09-18-2014, 05:59 PM

Email sent.

DC43 · 01-03-2015, 06:03 PM

Curious to see what the outcome of the cpp spindles was? Planning on ordering my extreme dropmember this week and will be running the modular spindles. Thanks

The 73-87 spindle has a larger tie rod diameter which at times has led to the fitment question previously asked... we have been recommending the 63-70 that has a smaller diameter and is a much better fit with our tie-rod kit.
