Oil pan differences

[Magoo2]

I need to replace the oil pan on my '31 pickup. I have 5 spare engines. One of them has a removable flat round plate just under the oil pump. Does anyone know if that oil pan will fit the '31

It will fit, the one with the removable plate was used on the early 28's

Thanks I'll give it a try

Yes, all A pans will fit all A blocks. A pans will also fit B blocks too, with a few modifications.

Any idea when the removable plate style was no longer produced?

The 31 had a different dip tray by 1/8 "

The JS say it was removed in early '29

Then period correct for my early '29. Thanks!
