any pre-86 13-B oil pan will fit except you have to flip around and modify the oil pick up tube.

GSL SE pan is what i used.
tried to use a rx4/rx5 pan and it wouldnt work.
turn around the gslse pan and make two pickup tubes into one, to make it longer.
I found a rx4 pickup tube was a little smaller di pipe and would almost fit inside
of the 2nd gen pickup worked nice to fit things up before welding.

I used a RX 4 pick up tube, and pan. Pick up tube has to be re-shaped, Pan has to be flipped, and a couple of new holes redrilled.

the old 13-B oil pan needs some massaging to make it work. in fact, thats how 13-B motors were installed on a RX-2 = days before the GSL-SE came out.
