383 oil pan

[Fisher]

What is the capacity of a stock 383 oil pan? which pan number etc will i need to put the 383 into my 71 Duster? does anybody still sell them over the counter etc, along with a new pickup.

i found a thread where a 187 or 699 pan will work, where can these be bought?

I know where there's a like new 187 just south of Calgary, and it's 5 liters with 2 gaskets and a milodon windage tray.

 

[Fisher]

Sign me up any idea what he wants for it?

 

[Fisher]

Spoke to Dean today awesome guy, he has some parts for me. Thanks for the contact.

Scored a 699 pan today, that looks like a factory 6 quart pan, supposed to be a factor 383 dart gts pan? is that correct.

 

[RustyRatRod]

No. It's a C body pan.

 

[Fisher]

ok as long as it fits in the duster i will be happy

The correct pan is a 983. They are rather hard to come by since they only came in big block A-body cars and they are expensive if you can find them. The good news is that there are other pans that will work.

It fits. The 699 and 187 pans are both C body pans but they fit the A bodies just fine.

Here's a nice read on oil pans.

Thank you Rusty.

We made our own. Hopefully we went deep enough with our notch. Time will tell. I ain't afeared to bang on it some more.

 

[Fisher]

Wow they look good.

 

[MTmopars]

Thanks. It is 2 pictures of the same pan. I didn't even bother smoothing it with bondo. Nobody will ever see it. We eye balled the notch with a picture of the oil pan that works and added a little extra clearance in areas. Heat, hammer, repeat. Not sure if it will actually clear yet. Time will tell.

Actually the pan has 893 stamped into the bottom of it in big numbers. To save a big chunk of change just use some of the other pans mentioned. Only reason to get the 893 pan is for a correct resto.

Thanks for the kind words......but if you stay on the internet long enough, either one of three things will happen. You become a perv from all the ****, you get your brain sucked out, or you learn a little sumffin. I past the first two long ago and am climbin back outta the hole.
