Here ya go!

Looks like they changed everything
The inlet size from the pick up to pump,
Even the pan baffles look like they are gonna be different due to the location of pick up.....gonna have to move the pick up tube stud on the main cap as well......got the torque for the mains?

Hope you can help

i think the oil pan is gonna be different as well.i looked at the 97 pan today but im not sure.and of course i brought the tube home but forgot the oil pan

and according to my haynes manual the main bearing cap torrque is,first step:75FT-LBS,second step:90FT-LBS

actually you should be able to modify the pan.if anything you might have to cut away a little bit of the tray where the tube goes into the pan.

Geeze..wunder if the '96 oil pump will work with the '97 cover .....wouldn't surprise me at this point
