There is no need to swap out the oil pan. a Peice of round stock or pipe will take care of the issue. The Drag link Rubs the oil pan But Not to the Point it would put a hole in it. And It is a Lot less of a headack Then to swap the oil pan and to Redrill the block. I have been running the 250 Blocks(& oil pans) in my 64 SS chevyII for well over 17yrs and NEVER once ever rubed a Hole into any Pan. I have started to notch a oil pan For this issue But I have not been able to finish one to the point of testing it in the car. But Now that I now have my New motor Back from the machine shop. Hopfuly I'll get to check this out in the up comming Mos. This Should save a Lot of people a headack of any kind making the change over even easier.
God doesn't like ugly.
