Okay I bought an early style pan and it fits over my probe girdle just fine, the only problem is the stock pickup doesnt come close to working. The girdle rail runs right where the stock tube would ..meaning I cant bolt it onto the pump. I can heat and bend the screen end to clear the pan but the pump end looks like alot more trouble. Has anyone found a solution? Im sure others have run into this and not just chucked there stuff and ran out and spent 300 bux on a custom pan. Please help me through this so I can start this dang thing!

I don't know anybody that has. I don't think you could make stock pickup work proparly with a girdle. Best and smartest thing to do is buy a Moroso or Milodon (I'd go with the Milodon)pan, and pickup. I know that Milodon's pan & pickup is compatable with a girdle since I have used there stuff with my Probe piece on my 408. Do it right the first time man. The last thing you want to do is piss around with your engine's oil system.

I had the same problem, but luckily i had 2 motors to work with. I had to use an 88 pan, with a 92 pickup. Works good, and everything clears. Odd, huh?

I have a stock pickup with my Canton girdle, windage tray, and T-sump oil pan. I personally didn't make it fit, but my dad did. It took him a few hours with a huge pair of pliers and a vise. I wish I could be more help! I think it is possible though.

I'm pretty sure CHP makes one that will work with the stocker.
