Is the oil pickup interchangeable between a 250 and a 292? Are these available from any of the reproduction vendors? Thanks.

The oil pickup and the pan work together, the 250 units will work on a 292 but must both be used together.

Thanks. I believe I have located a 292 pan but how do I tell for sure? Also, when my 292 engine arrived from the rebuilder, the two-sided main bearing bolt that you clamp the oil pickup to, is screwed in at the number three main. Is this a mistake? Because I thought I remember on 250's it was located at the number two main.

How can you tell the difference between oil pans for a 292 and a 230/250?

i think the 292 is a 6 qt and deeper. and not all the attachments for the oil pickup are the same even for the 292. the older blocks i've seen sometimes have a different main bolt that it attaches to, so the part that goes around the tube can be longer or shorter. the 292 i'm doing right now is a 64 or 65 and i had to reuse a clamp part off a old tube to make it work, the one that came with the tube was not right lenth.
