Goldnboy 746 #1 Posted May 22, 2018 What modifications will need to be done to adapt this engine to a B/C series long frame? Do I need to buy a few spacers or do i need to acquire another small block oil pan? The id tag is worn off but was from a Ford. I have a 77' B80 that I will transfer this to.

Racinbob 10,204 #2 Posted May 22, 2018 I could be wrong but that looks like the style that was used with the shaker mount. There's a thread on here about Kohler oil pans that might give you some ideas. I can't find it but maybe somebody can and give you the link. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldnboy 746 #3 Posted May 24, 2018 I agree it is similar to the shaker mounting style but isnt the frame in the 78 and newer wider than the pre 78? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWH 5,288 #6 Posted May 24, 2018 I had a long dipper and wanted the deep reservoir. It looks like you may be able to make that fit with spacers. Check for hood clearance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
