My old Harrell Camaro had a pan with an extra length welded on the bottom just like that also. I always thought it was aftermarket.

Im guessing that if GM was going to offer a deeper sump welded pan into a nova or camaro,theyd use a nova camaro pan amd alter the bottom , not start off with an impala pan..?

I would be suprised if GM would take the time to modify a pan like this.I could see it in the 409 situation but not here. Think of the cost vs them setting up to stamp out the proper pan they needed.The welding etc looks terrible and I cannot see GM putting their name on this.
We used impala pans since they we easy to get for little or nothing and we didnot want to destroy a good camaro or chevelle one.

That oil pan is an over the counter unit part # 3977591,I used them in a few of my race cars. The oil pan was black when you got it over the parts counter. The part number was later changed to 1409135. The Corvette pan will not fit in a Nova or Camaro.

There we go.Still learning. Interesting the pan on the bogger was and still is black.It was home made since many guys made them like this but after seeing these pictures maybe it was modeled after a bought unit. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

There should be lots of these pans out there,it was used by many drag racer's. I don't know why more have not seen them. The part # is 14091356,I missed a digit you can still buy the pan today. Here is an other picture.
