I'm looking for a oil pan for a 1982 OMC 3.8L. It is in a 1982 Glassmaster boat. If I can't find one is there an automotive oil pan that would fit that I could adapt to work for my engine? Thanks.

it may bee also a 3.8 liter predicessor of the 4.3. Check to see where the distributor is on the engine, in front it is a buick in the back it is a chevy. I think the oil pan for the 3.8 chevy is the same as the 4.3
