Something else that needs to be known is AMC, Studebaker, and Packard oil pans. This is an AMC pan that's currently on e-bay right now. This is exactly like the one that came off of my 320 that was originally in a '55 Hudson Hornet. I know for a fact that the AMC will NOT fit in a Packard chassis, and probably vice versa. The oil pan will hit the steering linkage on a Packard chassis, and the indentation on the AMC pan towards the rear is to clear the steering linkage on an AMC chassis. That being said, I know that if you used a Packard oil pan on the earlier Stepdown Hudson chassis, it would clear. A nice, useless piece of info for me to share.
