When converting a 1965 Chevy 2 to v8 is a front sump pan needed?

Yes, when converting a 1965 Chevy II to a V8 engine, a front sump oil pan is typically needed. This is due to the chassis design and steering components, which can interfere with the oil pan if a rear sump configuration is used. Using a front sump pan ensures proper clearance and functionality without compromising the vehicle's performance or handling.
