I am doing a engine swap in my car from small block to big block ,I changed the motor mounts but now the oil pan sits on the cross member,does anyone know how to fix my problem
I had the same problem, had the two step oil pan from a 1966 Impala. I used the original small block motor mounts and picked up a chrome pan from Bumper to Bumper and it dropped right in. (The second time)
Gord, I think I can get you that pan but I'd just buy it through Piston Ring. If you go there and they give you a blank stare, contact me and I can work on getting one for you.

Slightly off topic, but the 1977 400 small block engine I used for my Parisienne had triangular spacers between the mount and block. Must have been used to raise the engine a bit in a motorhome application. Not a solution for this situation, I just wanted to mention it.
Carl, are you saying for me to go to piston ring first
Yes, I would tell them you need an oil pan for a 66 Chevelle 396. If they say no, shoot me a note. Looking on the Dorman site, it looks like they sell it as a 264-161.
