Finally Got Some New Parts!! I ordered a Moroso 7 quart pan sunday night and a summit pickup for it and they came in today.
All I need now is head and intake gaskets, rings, clutch disk, ring and pinion, and a few wiring pigtails and I'll tear the Z down again.
Heres the pics of the pan
And so everyone knows I'm doing a 70% street/20% road race/10% drag setup and I'm currently running a 10% higher volume oil pump than stock. Thats the reasoning behind the 7 quart pan. Also its for the '86 and up 1 piece rear main blocks. I don't have the low oil sensor anymore and wasn't going to spend $250+ just to keep the sensor. I got the pan for $175 and the pickup for $17 from summit. Have to clean the inside of the pan a little but some steel wool should take care of the surface rust it has

Oh, that's all. You sound like me saying all I have left to do finishing my car is finish cutting a few things out, putting the interior back in, fabbing the turbo setup, chopping off the front end, and putting it back together.

I know the feeling man, I hade it done once already, but I destroyed my auto and my rings didn't seat right cause I was fighting with some misfiring and it never broke in right. Now its got all new ignition parts and a t56 behind it so I'll see how that holds
Nice pan and even better price
Thanks guys

Do you have LTs? If so how hard is it to change your oil with this pan?

I wanna know some more on this pan also. Will it work with the stock pickup or do i HAVE to get new one? Also how hard is the oil changing with the pan and LTs? I am keeping up on this because the pan and price are good.

that is a great price, i paid a good bit more for mine.
i run the same pan but black. had some real trouble getting it to seal, took it to my gm mechanic at the local chevrolet dealership and he even had to do it twice. still leaks some, but with an lt1 with an aftermarket pan, you'll have that.
pickups are dirt cheap get a new one. no problem changing oil with my LTs but i run duals no y pipe in the way. also the drain plug is relocated to the passenger side of the pan. the pan comes with a magnetic drain plug bolt. thats my favorite thing about it.

uhhhh, im pretty sure it was designed to fit around the stock k-member. i can't tell you about aftermarket ones, but one would assume so. i had troubles getting mine to seal so it was on and off a few times without dropping the k-member, they did have to loosen the k.m. and jack the motor up a little to get it in and out.

I got the pan because I'm running a higher volume pump and was worried about running the pan dry at high RPMs or in a hard corner. I'll post lots of pics in the next few weeks, just have a few more things to get. Rings, gears, pigtails, and clutch disk and she'll be ready to go another round
