3500 Differences from Previous 3x00s

[Superdave]

Bottom of the block and the oil pan. If you need more pics let me know.

Of course.. right after i went out into the cold and took pics

dosen't look like the pan needs much, have fun grinding out the 3400 block though.. lol

[SappySE107]

yeah, well remember me when you need pics

[rickykline]

how much must be removed from the 3400 pan to get it onto a 3500 shortblock?

[SappySE107]

You would have to drill a hole either in the block or the oil pan to use a 3400 pan on a 3500. No reason to do that really.

edit. Forgot about the oil level sender. I dont need that thing:P

[rickykline]

do you have any pics of the 3500 oil pan vs.3400 oil pan

[gectek]

does anyone know if the acc from the 3500 will work in their stock places or do you have to swap over the 3400 brackets...or are there a few more diff bolt locations? will the stock a/c lines and p/s lines work with the n body style??? anyone know

[El_Diablo]

it would be a lot easier just to use the 3400 pan and make a couple cuts and welds

[gectek]

so the oil sensor on the 3400 isnt on the 3500, so what do you do with the conn if you swap to the 3500? tap a hole?

[bszopi]

Some of the new 3400s also do not have the oil level sensor. And yes, you could tapa hole if you wanted.

[gectek]

well mine does, so i guess i would tap the hole

[SappySE107]

Or program it out or whatever. I dunno what its hooked up to but its not required for the engine to run.

[gectek]

yah i know, and i have the ability to do that, but i really dont want to just cut a wire, seems like i did it without thinking everything through. i could follow the wire up with the electrical diagram and take the entire thing out, which would be better, and then just program it out, but doesnt gm use that for the oil life monitor? and i think the other pcms have that input taken out when using the logic for the oil life monitor

[El_Diablo]

yes but after you put so much money in its cheap insurence (if your stupid enough not to get an oil pressure gauge, lol)

[gectek]

well the oil press gauge is going in soon anyway, along with trans temp and poss a/f or f/p when i get a 3 pod gauge pillar, but yah it is cheap ins
