well, i bought my 91 plus out of a junkyard for 400 bucks back in november. the whole car was there, they said that the motor was blown. i am now as we speak workin on a 3.2 transplant and as i am unhookin the 3.0 i think i found what they meant when they said blown. there is a hole in the oil pan about the size of a baseball up near the top of the motor. not a big deal except i beleive i need the oil pan for the 3.2 correct?? i am hopin to have the motor mostly out by tonite so i can switch stuff over tomorrow and prep the 3.2 to go in. another problem is that the 3.2 is scheduled to go in tuesday. 2 of my buddies and i r taking the day off work to get it set in there so i can hook stuff up on it the rest of the week and get it runnin next weekend. i need an oil pan quick!! anyone near Mansfield Ohio have one laying around?? i have a guy that i get parts from in pittsburgh who probably has one but i dunno if i really have that much time to run to pittsburgh and back. guess ill do what i have to but any help here would really be appreciated.

thanx guys

Couple of good SHO guys around Pittsburgh. Run a search on 3.2 conversion or swap. IIRC someone did one with the 3.2 oil pan and a little extra fabbed piece, or said they would. See if you can find the post and get in touch with that person.

3.0L oil pan required for a 3.2L block on the MTX SHOs.
