Prototype Oil Pan?

[Hot Air]

eBay Motors: RARE Buick GN Turbo V6 Prototype oil pan (item 170170072952 end time Nov-21-07 10:35:45 PST)

anyone know anything about this?

It won't bolt up to a 109 block for sure,look at the pan rail where the gasket rides. It's way to curvey.

Might have been on a busch motor or something.

Probably a boat pan. It will NOT fit in a GN. The sump is located right were the cross member is. Maybe a prototype for a FWD application. Not a Busch pan either. They would at least have a kick-out on the R/H side of the block. Most circle track pans that I have dealt with/built were sheet metal and have a big sump on the R/H side of the engine. (go fast.........turn left........ The oil is glued to the R/H side of the block and pan. )

It kinda looks like they welded the plenum off of a 5.0 Mustang on to it.:biggrin:

It looks like it would interfere with the cross over pipe...

 

[Hot Air]

The sump is in the front...not the rear where the cross-over would be. What is the purpose of the vertical bosses (w/hole) on both sides at the rear? Could this be a Indy car pan or an Indy Light pan?
