John,

I have seen C body pans without the cut out, but most of the
C body pans I find have it. I am talking about the steering cut out.
It looks just like a 187, except a larger sump. I would say maybe 
1.5' to 2" from front to back. I am at work
so I am going by memory. By the way - I know this in not correct,
but I put Imperial pans in the C body class in my mind. Most of
the 440's I have gotten for cores come from C bodys. I will take
a picture this weekend if you like with a 187 and a C body side
by side and sent it to you.

Earl

Earl,
If I read your email corectly, are you saying that an early "C" body pan as
well as a 187 pan will fit a '65 "B" body? The "C" body pan that I have has
no cutouts, and looks very much like a "B" body pan except that it is a bit
deeper behind the sump. I'm not sure if that will make a difference or not,
especially when turning.
John

Joe,

I don't get this 187 pan thing. I have one, and when I set it beside a C
body pan, which will work fine in my 65 b body, what I find is that the sump
is smaller. The cut outs are about the same, but I don't like the smaller
sump. I was luck and did not pay anything for the 187, but I sure would not
pay anymore for one of those than I would a C body pan.

To answer you question - Yes there are a bunch of people that just have to
have a 187. I see them go on EBay for more than a hunski all the time. All
the 187's I have seen have come from big block B bodies. I never found one
in a C body.

I always use two C body pans, weld them together - the sump part, put a
couple of baffles in, and buy a longer pick-up. Not hard to do. You just
need a old block or welding table to bolt your  pan to while welding the
extra sump on. Simple - low Cost - Works.

Earl



Are these 187 pans worth more than the others?  I was told they also  fit B
motor A bodies and are highly sought after. Thgere is a notch cut in  the
sump. 
Seems many are in early C bodies.  I have a couple and will  be going to a 
swap meet to sell them.   Joe
