Took some pictures of the oil pans today. I'll post them later.
For the record, the 230 and 250 pans are considerably different. The sump for the 230 is shorter in the back, and the drain plug is in a different location on the pan as well (front vs rear). This is most likely the reason it didn't fit the other day when I tried installing it.
I drilled a hole in the 250 pan, applied the gasket and some adhesive, then attempted to install the modified 250 pan. I couldn't get it mated without the gasket falling out of place. My only choice now is to pull the motor.
It shouldn't be much of a chore considering I already have 2/3 of the components removed or unhooked. All that's left is the trans and she's coming out with the motor. I need to barrow my friends lift, and that will have to wait until next week.
