Here's the Holley oil pan install. I emptied all the oil out and let it drain overnight then removed the old pan prior to flipping the motor over. These new motors do not use an oil pan gasket if you don't know. GM uses a strong RTV silicone as the gasket so cleaning the surface really good is a must if you don't want oil leaks. I used the same sealant GM used, the PN is 12378521, it comes in a mini caulk gun tube. The pan requires a few items to be installed like the windage tray and pickup then slap it on following the torque instructions and that's it. The Pan is a lot smaller than stock and makes the motor look really small compared to how it was with the truck pan. I was also able to sell my truck pan for $80 so that's cool too. It felt good to take the pan off too with this being a used motor. With only 3K miles on this thing it checked out and passed my inspection.
