do you want assembly line correct?

They are about 3x the cost of a later over the counter unit.

OTC unit is functionally fine.

Apparently some guys think the OTC unit is worth big bucks. This pan on ebay is not an original assembly line pan. It is an over the counter pan that is not assembly line correct.

[allcamaro]

How much would that be?

I would think you should be able to find a pan like the one on ebay for about $200. They are now discontinued, but they were still available less than 5 years ago, and there are a lot out there.

A factory assembly line correct pan with original windage tray will most likely be about $600... if you can find one.

[allcamaro]

Charley, either for sale?

[ds1]

I have a nice one. Was hot tanked.

[allcamaro]

Price?

[Charley Lillard]

I'll sell both but what are they worth ?

[Lynn]

Just my opinion, but I believe the black one is worth $200, and assuming that is grease and not rust on the bottom of the assembly line pan, $550 for the pan and windage tray together. Another $50 if you have the studs.

[Steve Shauger]

The black/nos is not assembly line correct, although it will work fine as long as you use the correct thicker front seal.

NOS front radius 2.5 inches from peak of radius to top of pan (flip pan on flat surface to measure)
NOS has a center crease assembly line correct don't.
NOS has a second step on pan bottom.

Assembly line front radius measures 2 5/16 inches from peak of radius to top of pan (flip pan on flat surface to measure)

[Lynn]

I agree Steve. I think that is what we said, only without the dimensions.

Bead blasted, filled it with water and found a pinhole.

Bummer. Do you know the history on that one? Is it off a 68 maybe? I know the drain plug would be interchangeable, but I think the 69 had a 9/16 hex.

To the OP. I have a couple projects going today, but I believe I have at least one correct 69 pan. Don't know if I will get a chance to pull it out, clean it up and check it out today, but can if you are interested.

If you aren't concerned with it being assy line correct, Charlie's black painted pan will do the job fine, as Steve stated.

[ds1]

So the difference between a 68 and 69 pan is the drain plug?

[Lynn]

I am not sure Dan. I believe that is one difference. I have not compared 67, 68 and 69 side by side, so I can't say if there are other differences.

I remember locating a true 67 Z pan for a member here a few years back. Belonged to a friend who had put the 67 Z engine in his 57 race car (Z was wrecked) and kept the pan in his attic for years. I did not however, have possession of ito to make any comparisons to an original 69 pan or an original 68 pan.

Here's one I just listed if interested.

front of pan center radius to pan rail measures 2.450 if that helps.

That's a fair price for an OTC pan.

[camaro1]
