Oil Pan Difference - 69Z
Friend of mine called and asked if I knew what the difference would be in a 69Z oil pan - vs. a 1970? Seems his sept of 69Z has a 70 oil pan?
Any insight as to the differences - or would a late 69 have a 70 pan, similar to other late 69-70 transition parts? Appreciate your insight on this.... |
Seems to me there was a big article on this site some years back. I'll see if I can find it unless somebody know exactly where it is....Joe

Eddie; I can't tell you if there was a difference between the 69 and 70 assembly line pans.
I do know some late 69's got the second design valve covers with drippers, starting in about August. It would make sense that IF the 1970 Z/28 oil pan was functionally the same, they COULD have started using it early. I know for certain that the 69 assy line pan has multiple differences from the ones that were sold over the counter starting some time in the 70s. Comparison is here: https://www.camaros.net/threads/nos-...l-pans.178450/ |
Lynn, That is my thought - but i guess we would need some examples of the late cars inspected and determined if either pan was used.
i did see your thread on the camaro net site - interesting and informative..... looking for more info.....thank you... |
Guessing my first question is:
Are we certain that 69 and 70 Z/28 used different oil pans? Would like to see pics of each to compare. I do have a 1970 LT-1, but it is a Corvette, so the pan is MUCH different from the Camaro. |
Perhaps Mike (RSZMJT) can chime in on this. He has had many of these pans off and probably knows more than enough about the differences between the 69 Z pans, 70 LT1 pans, and most of the corvette pans. I recall there are a couple of differences between them but will leave him to chime in and tell you about those if he sees this thread.

I have a 11A of 69 car i don't know if you can tell difference on the outside ill look at my may car and see
|
I have a 11A of 69 and a may ill check a see if there is a difference on the outside
|
that would be great - his car is a 9C - late 69 car.....
pics would help - to understand the assembly line correct version etc...... |
