What oil pans will fit a 1987 Chevy 2.8l engine??


Question: I'm currently putting a new engine in my truck - but my oil pan from my truck - which is an 84 does not fit my new engine. I found out that the engine is an 87 because of the difference in oil pan shape.

( the reason why i need to use the old oil pan is because the truck is 4WD, the stock pan on the engine is for a 2WD)

I do know that the 2.5l will not fit the 2.8l, I think maybe a 3.4l would. but i have someone who has a 4.3l & I'm not sure if that would fit.

any suggestions? I've researched on the web a bit, but havent found much about the size & bolt pattern of Chevy's oil pans.

thanks.
Answers: As you said, the oil pans not only fit the engines, but sometimes also the application. FYI The 3.4 is a bored and stroked 2.8. Also 1984-86 Jeep Cherokees used that engine and could be either two or four wheel drive.
Good Luck
