332 oil pan question

[ffford]

Hi
the oil plug area on my pan is dented/crushed.
I haven't been able to find a good used or repro 332 oil pan so
I'm trying to find out if the 352 pan will work on a late 50's 332 motor. There are some cosmetic differences and I've looked at the 352 repro pan and the drain plug is on the side not center also it has different contours. The car is a driver so I'm only concerned about functionality.

Thanks
paul

If it will bolt on, the thing to check is where the oil pickup sits inside. If that looks good, screw it on.

it will work but with the drain plug on the side it means messy oil changes if i remember right.
