Oil pan interchange
From what I can tell from the forums here, it seems that the same oil pan works for all chassis.
I have a couple of "big car" pans; and I'm able to modify to accept the five-tab rear seal. Does a '77 Firebird need a different OEM oil pan than the "big cars"? I'd like to avoid using a windage tray that needs aftermarket main cap studs/bolts to mount it. What OEM-style windage tray will fit a pan suitable for a '77 Firebird? 3/4??? Full-length??? Thanks, folks. |

The pans that came on the birds had a baffle built in to keep the oil in the sump on those better handling TA cars which the big car pans did not have.

The pans are all basically the same, mounting-wise.
The scrapers all mount to the engine not the pan. All the scrapers (factory or factory style) will fit with all the pans. Some of the aftermarket pans may have a scraper as part of the pan setup.

Is there a distinct preference for the full tray over the 3/4 tray? |

The GM Pontiac parts catalog lists the same replacement part # for all models 76-81.

I have an extra 3/4 tray in great shape.  I'm going with the full length tray but only because I have it. Stewart

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
