I scouted around but couldn't find the answer in a Stovebolt search.

Could they be removed and still allow for a proper fit?

I've read that the later ones have a better design for the way the oil moves around inside. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Pre-Powerglide? Didn't Powerglide transmissions become available in 1950, using a low-pressure 235 engine (with hydraulic lifters) until 1953?
The pre-1954 truck engine oil pans are different but they might bolt up? The oil-sump comment posted above is important. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | Starting in 1955 the pan rail bulges out in the middle on the pass side. 1940-54 are straight down both sides. They will not interchange.
