    Oil Pan and water pump differences?

    I bought the pan from the parts store. I think the pump may be an aftermarket. I am gonna try the other pan that they have. He said the pans fit 83-89 and then 90-95. He said the earlier ones are deeper. I'll start with that. Aftermarkert pumps do they fit under the normal pan?
