[robi]

hey everyone! first time here just a minor question on a start to a complete resto. I am install a used 440 cid circa 1976. to replace my 68 383 cid and the oil pan is hitting the k member. does anyone know where I can buy a suitable sub oil pan--new? or should I simply replace with my old one along with the oil pick-up tube.?? thanks for your advice to this ol novice.

Hi,
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for joining the Forum.

Try calling Bob Mazolinni Racing for ALL your parts.
He's in Riverside, CA

OR:Herb's Mopar Parts

OR:Sumitt Racing

This is from "Herb's" Mopar Parts: An excellent reproduction of the "402" oil pan used on all 1966-69 B-Body big block and 1970-71 B & E-Body 383 applications. Produced from heavy gauge steel with correct internal baffles as original. E-coated to prevent corrosion and to promote paint adhesion. Includes #5890 drain plug. Reference Chrysler part #2532 401.
Price: $179.00

NOTE: This pan can be purchased for $79.95 from "The 440 Source", Lancaster CA

welcome to FBBO, Summit Racing {free shipping}, But if you just need a 68 B-Body BB pan & Pick up, if your old ones are still good I'd just use them... There's also Mancini Racing, can be added to that list also with Ski's list too...

robi,
As Budnicks mentioned and as I forgot...Mancinni Racing

These guys essentially "Wrote the book" on Mopar racing.

The good thing about purchasing from Mancinni Racing is they will send you monthly flyers detailing events, parts for sale, monthly specials. tech tips etc.
It's much like a news letter.

A famous quote from one of our Forum team members:
"Fill your library before you fill your garage"
Thanks Budnicks for that truly great piece of wisdom!

440 Source sells a 6 quart Hemi pan and pickup fairly reasonable also. I used that on my 440 in the Charger.

robi,
From waht I know, the RB/B engines have the same oil pan.
The 383 & 440 have te same pan.
If your havong clearence issues, this does NOT make sense.

Welcome to the site. I'd just clean up the pan from the 383 and put it on. Cheap way out and you have it.
