1725 oil pan needed

[Jimjordan2]

OK, looks like I need an oil pan for this new engine rebuild. The baffle on this one is all broken and cracked, plus a really ugly welded in drain plug.
1967 Series V.
Let me know what you have.

Thanks, Jim.

You just need a plan Jane oil pan and not a GT pan right?

 

[Jimjordan2]

Yep, just a plain Jane oil pan. By the way, what would a GT oil pan be? Just curious.

It's an aluminum pan with fins that was used on the 1725 engine in the fastback Alpine GT starting after the series Alpine was dropped. This pan has several differences than the stamped steel pan and was used on the GT version only. The fastbacks did not have an oil cooler like the series 5 and this pan was used to help cool the engine oil. The base Alpine had a cast iron head and used a stamped steel pan.

Yes, I understand. Thanks to all, but I got a pan today.
NO PAN Needed.

Jim, also the GT engine was tilted so if used on a reg Alpine, it works but the sump area is tilted (15 degrees) Like all old aluminum cast parts, oil can seep thru so the inside needs to be sealed

If oil were to seep thru it wouldn't be something you would even notice. There would be more leakage from the timing cover and the rear main. I base this on owning several different GT's over the last 40 years.
