Picture of a 1960 oil pan?

[Dick G.]

Can someone either email me or post pictures of a correct 1960 corvette oil pan. I saw several varieties of oil pans at Bloomington. These oil pans had the 3 steps with the center, rear, bottom oil drain plug. Any photos of a known correct 60 oil pan. The pan I want is for the high performance engine.
Thanks For Your Time.

If you do a search of the archives there was a fine writeup of oil pans from '57-60 some time back. It referenced an article by Loren Lundberg, but I don't think Loren made the DB submission. 60 was the first year for a trapdoor on the SHP pan, and he has some really good illustrations in it. I think I had to search "oil pan 60" or something similar to find it, but it is very well done.

On June 25, 2008 I posted some pictures of a pan I was looking at for a 1960 and Loren Lundberg who wrote the oil pan article for Restorer said it would be correct if it had the right 2 1/4 depth for the main seal. The seller on the auction website would not respond to that question after 3 tries so I didn't pursue it.

Dick, if you haven't found the post, I found it searching "1960 oil"
