Vortec 8100/8.1L Oil Pan

[bucket]

I need an oil pan for an '01-up 8.1 big block, along with the oil pickup tube. I need the regular truck and van style of pan with the big notch in it, as opposed to the marine and medium duty style of pan.

I'm putting together everything I need for an 8.1 swap for my '78 Suburban.

I've got a complete '05 donor truck for the engine. It has the big oil pan, for use with no engine crossmember.

Both are available new still. RA has them both for $150ish.

Well hell, they sure do! I would have never guessed that those were available in the aftermarket. Thanks!

does it use a stamped pan or a cast aluminum?

Cast aluminum.

If it was stamped steel, I would have just modified it. The thought had crossed my mind to modify the aluminum pan, but it's probably more frustration than it's worth.

For that kind of money it's not worth trying to find used pieces.
