Double Hump Oil Pan Config.

[jlandry@domain.elided (John A. Landry)]

Greetings,

I'm just about done rebuilding the 392 engine I purchased from a wrecking
yard last November.  This engine is intended for my 76 Traveler.  This
weekend I started cleaning a spare Scout oil pan in preparation for
painting in the next few days.  It's the double hump configuration that I'm
already familiar with in my Traveler.  However, I noticed this pan destined
for the 392 only has a rear sump drain plug, verses both the front and rear
sumps having a drain plug on the 345 in my Traveler.

So I have a question for you late model Scout owners whose engines have the
double sump pan with only the rear drain bolt: When changing your oil, does
it only take 5 quarts of oil, verses the 6 my Traveler now takes?

Thanks,

John L.
