| FE FoMoCo historic details Baffled oil pan history |
| By Robert - 12/24/2001 8:31:18 AM; IP 64.12.105.187 |
I came across a mint C9 motor less then 100 mile . It was wild taking her apart. Most outstanding was the collection of dated parts. C7ME-A block. C8 heads, C9 water pump, Steel shim head gaskets, big bore C8 oil filter adapt., 6/68 dated bearings, yellow valve springs with big orange spats and green separator springs between rockers. Interesting also was the painted (black)exhaust manifolds and elaborate heat shields.
The thing that stumped me was the use of a BAFFLED OIL PAN sort of a crank stripper design welded to the bottom of the pan and extending down to the sump.
When was the baffled pan introduced and what engines/models got it? |
