Hello, Do any of you tech wizards know of anyone who makes a pan for the C6 with a drain plug? or is there a Ford made 1.My truck is a 1970 if that makes any difference.
Thanks

i also then painted it so it wont rust after it was welded on.

 

Nice work. I wonder if someone can tell us why Ford didn't do this?

 

looks very nice, was that a kit?, Or something you put together?
Thanks

 

Got the pan and drain plug off eBay if I remember right. The pan is an extra thick one so the flange does not bend and leak. The drain plug is just a generic one that would work with any thing really. You just drill a hole and there is a nut and bolt with a hole in it that a smaller bolt goes I to to keep the fluid in. I didnt want it o get knocked off so that is why I had a buddy weld it and the pipe over it. Works great

 

I did something similar on my last one- I just drilled a hole and welded a 1/2" fine thread nut on the inside in the side of the pan. Got an oil drain plug and gasket, never had an issue.
