As I look for an oil pan -- Is it the same oil pan that is on all 455 engines or is the GMC motorhome oil pan a special animal? Better yet - anybody got the part number to order one from my local NAPA or other auto store?

You need a pan from a Toro or motorhome. The drive axle crosses under the engine. I doubt you find a new one.

You are going to need to get one for an Olds Toranado the rear wheel drive type will not work with our front wheel drive.

It has to be a front wheel drive 455 oil pan.
