I am starting to liquidate my excess inventory of GMC parts. I have 3 Toronado/GMC oil pans that I am selling.
Two are listed on Ebay and one other i have also. I'd like to get about $55 each for them. They are all clean and one painted gold, one black and the other was cleaned and is bare metal. two have the drain plug and one is missing it.
If you want i can send pictures.
More to come including two transmodes. One a 455 the other a 403

G'day,
Good news -this is the perfect opportunity for someone that wants to add a
second oil drain to their pan.
1) buy one of these pans
2) measure 7.5 inches back from the front lip of the pan
3) put a short line across the pan from side to side at that point
4) eyeball the center of the pan and center punch a start
5) drill a pilot hole through the pan
6) drill a half inch hole through the pan
7) get a 1/2-20 drain plug
8) get a 1/2-20 castle nut
9) stick the drain plug through the 1/2" hole from the outside in
10) screw the castle nut on it so the "castles" touch the inside of the pan
11) weld the nut to the inside of the pan
Voila - second drain plug.
Yes I know that there isn't much oil in there BUT Caddy 500's came with a
second plug. ;-)
Bad news - you have to remove the final drive and transmission to do this.
If you decide to do this add the following steps:
1) get an oil pan seal for an Olds 350 diesel
2) when you've got the final drive and trans out
a) remove the flex plate and see if the rear main seal is leaking -
if it is get a rubber one for a Ford 460 to replace the OEM rope seal
b) clean out the hidden area of the oil pickup
c) stick your fingers up on either side of the cam chain to check
play
Regards,
Rob M.

I don't suppose the Olds 350 diesel and the 455 and the 403 seals are all
the same by any chance??

Even though the 403 and 350 are considered small blocks, Olds did a good job in commonizing a lot of parts. Areas where they are different are head, valve cover, intake, and exhaust gaskets.
Are there specific seals/gaskets you are thinking about?

The valve cover gaskets from the Olds 350 Diesel also fit the 455 (don't know about the 403). They are about twice the thickness, and can solve oil leaks from the bent/beat up edges of the original valve covers.

The 403 valve cover has fewer mounting holes than the 455. Sounds like the 350 diesel may be different than the 350 gas. They probably had to do everything possible to keep oil in those with higher crankcase pressures.

Mike,
Did you switch to generics? ;-)
