As part of the discussion on another thread last week, there were questions about the 67, 68 and 69 oil pans. See: http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat...e=0&fpart=4 (http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB3&Number=157932&page=0 &fpart=4)
Part of the discussion centered around an NOS pan I had for sale on ebay, part number 360450. First, I found out my pan is still available from GM. Guess NOS doesn't necessarilly mean no longer available. Anyway, we never received a definitive answer as to whether all three years used the same pan. So I decided to ask Mr. Definitive himself, and sent the following to Jerry M.
Hi Jerry:
Lynn Bilodeau from OKC here.
Did all the 302's use the same oil pan? Was it part umber 360009 for all three years? I know they all used the windage tray.
Last week I compared a known original from a 67 Z/28 (car is long gone, having been totaled in the 70's) with a 465220 and it sure looked different.
The 465220 looks identical, except for the paint finish, with the currently available 360450 pan.
We had quite a discussion on the yenko.net board, but no conclusive answers.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Got the following reply:
"Lynn,
There are actually three 302 pans for the three years. The 67's use a
2-step pan, early 68's are not quite the same and later 68 and 69's use
the current one available from GM. Only difference from pan available
now for 68-69 is the front seal thickness.
Jerry"
So, we already have a post of a picture for a 67 Z/28 pan, and know the late 68 & 69 pan look the same as the new ones, does anyone have a picture of an early 68 Z/28 pan?
