Hello everyone,
I have an opportunity to possibly upgrade to a 430 from my original 300 2bbl! I am about ready to make the leap as I have come across what I believe to be a good candidate for the swap...my question is in regards to the oil pan. The seller of the motor mentioned that he doesn't think the swap is possible due to the drag link location in my LeSabre interfering with the 430's oil pan. I have been trying to do my homework and have learned that there are rear sump and center sump pans for the 430. Which one, if either, could I use on the 430 to clear all of my steering components? Anyone out there put a 400-430-455 into their LeSabre that can give me some tips/advice? As always, thanks so much to the knowledgable people on this site!
