The low profile 7 quart pan should clear the windage tray, but sits an inch or so below the K-member.
On street engines I usually use the reproduction hemi oil pan and the Plastic JEGs windage tray/pan gasket ($50).

4800 lbs. WOW!!! $56k is way less than what I was expecting. If I didn’t have to pay personal property taxes on it I would get one. I’m a big fan of turbocharged sixes. And this one has 80% of its torque come on and 2100 rpm. A few tweaks on the turbo side and your making 800 hp.
Can you...
There is a washer and a clip on top of the seal, I can't see any dirt getting in there, but I can see oil leaking out. I go with what I think is right, so I install them lip down. I have not worked on a lot of transmissions however.
Ask Charlies what the oil pan capacity is. Install pan, put quoted oil amount in engine, and adjust dipstick tube length until the "Full" mark matches oil level in pan.
The car had everything either rebuilt or replaced including a color change on paint. Originally power steering/ brakes. In the process I replaced all wiring at mechanic shop.
440 stroked, aluminum heads. New spindles Wilwood discs in front, new drums in rear.
The car just seemed to”linger” at...
broke down the motor today to a shortblock....Hemi Wedge !

Best of everything. below what it would cost if u do the mopar/callies route. low (200ish) miles just broken in look at the crosshatch from the hone..
Only high zinc lucas hot rod oil ran in the motor....
I’m no Mopar expert but I think the oil dipstick goes into the 440 block right behind the left side motor mount. Mine has a threaded plug in that location. I’ve never seen a threaded hole for the dipstick tube.
What gives?
The one we had at work used oil....but a water based coolant has oil in it. Machining parts with a lathe or milling machine used water based coolant that felt oily and nothing rusted even if the finished part wasn't whiped off.
I just use whatever is on sale 10w30 conventional oil in all my classic cars. The seal technology was not what it is today with tighter machined tolerances and newer style o-ring seal gaskets. Synthetic oils will weap in most old school engines.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too - at cold start, I would want as minimum friction as possible. But, the shop recommended this combo to increase oil pressure. I was thinking 'if' I did run the straight 40w, then no Lucas additive as the 40w here in PA should be thick enough. But, again...
Bought an oil filter and battery for the zero turn. Been jump starting it with a NoCo pack for 2 seasons now...new battery was only $49...what the hell.
This is a OEM 1970's Twist On Oil Filler Cap. It is original,
not a china knockoff, and is in decent condition, just needs a
cleanup and repaint. I can no longer remember for sure what engine
this came off of, but I believe it will work on small and big blocks.
$15.00. Local pickup, or buyer...
The slot is in the drive gear, it is engaged with the camshaft. You won't spin anything with that slot. Take the drive gear out, and the bottom end is a 5/16" Thats what drives the oil pump. The priming tool is 18 inches long.
Thanks. That’s what I thought too. I’ve installed quartz conversion kits in E body rallye clocks and the hands pulled off easy. This second hand on this tic toc clock is really stuck on. I’ll try again today. I’ve had a small fork like tool underneath with some decent force and still no luck...
I don't see how you could prime the system using the slot on the intermediate shaft. It's geared to the camshaft.
You need to remove it and spin the oil pump directly.
So a 5/16 hex tool is required.
My 18 Ram 2500 Cummins you have to go through the right front wheel well inner fender access hole to even see the filter. Taking the wheel off is the easiest way to change it and oil goes all over the front suspension because there is no access from the bottom or top. What a PITA. It's a good...
I have to agree with Dwayne that if the relief valve is completly bottomed I've seen close to 200psi. Install the cup backwards in a small block and see what happens. My belief is that some oil is always bypassing. But by the time that there is a spring that holds the valve that far bottomed...
My question answered: "The windage tray is not necessary with this pan. It can be used in conjunction with minimal modifications, but is not necessary with the added oil control this pan offers."
