Oil pan, was: <VV> OK is it true or not ?

[Mark Corbin]

Scotty,

If you notice, that's why the STOCK Corvair oil pan is designed the way it
is, even on the late models. GM went to great pains to make sure it had
road clearance, even to the placement of internal engine components. Most
all aftermarket pans will have such clearance problems for that reason.
