Does anybody make or did Studebaker ever make a mid-sump oil pan for a 185 cid 6 cylinder engine. I have a 55 Champion 185 engine I’m considering putting into my 1950 Champion Starlight Coupe, but my 50 has a mid sump oil pan to clear the crossmember in front and the steering linkage that runs in front of the flywheel area. I’m trying to avoid having to make such drastic modifications to fabricate one.

Yes. Studebaker did make a special oil pan for putting a 185 into a 50 Champion. Someone else may chime in with the part number. It might not be cheap if you find one.
The other option is to take the 50 oil pan and the oil pan from the 185 and make one out of the two.
