The oil pans are the same for L-head and OHV 196 engines. That's one part the aluminum engine shares as well. The iron versions share everything from the camshaft down. Camshaft is different because of lobe profile for L-head and OHV (lobes provide all the lift on a L-head, no rocker to add to it!), but even the bearings are the same. _______________________________________________ AMC-List mailing list AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list or go to http://www.amc-list.com
