It will fit with some modification.

My friend in California said he had to hammer out the A pan to clear the B rods.

That is one way, the other is to replace nuts with 12 point low profile.

No bending up pan rail required.

Steve,

If an "A" pan to be used on a "B" motor the rear gasket radius needs to be enlarged to fit over the "B" main cap. This will also need the "A" flywheel housing.

The rod nuts are 12 point low profile, not "jam nuts" these are smaller in diameter but offer full length of thread.
