Update - got the oil pan installed and it fits perfectly, however I'm having issues with which dipstick to use, mine doesn't fit and even after cutting it down it bottoms out in the pan quickly and I can't get any oil on it, there is 5L of oil in the pan.

I haven't measured but I can if everybody is interested, and they're super cheap replacement castings from rockauto, I believe CCCN or something like that, I think they were $250 CAD each for a bare head

I'm running a comp 268 xtreme energy solid cam in a 98 318 Magnum block with factory replacement heads, Hughes 1110 spring kit with retainers and 1.65 rocker arms for .539 lift (.551-0.012 for lash) and it's tight but I've been running it on the street for about a month now and no clearance issues.

I always buy the cheap seal and washer kit from Rockauto, then new bands and clutches separately (red eagle clutches and a 1.60" forward band, standard material double wrap reverse). Pretty cheap and seems to hold up to my abuse.

I ordered a lunati cam from summit about 6 months ago, exact same issue. Ended up canceling it.

The first one could be from 69, 79, 89 or 99. That's the old style DOT date code which only had one digit.

There should still be a DOT code on the Canadian tire somewhere.

I have 2 Blaupunkt 6x9s in the rear and 2 6" JBL speakers in the door with an old school Kicker amp in the rear with a good USB DAC under the dash hooked to the stereo line-in and my Pixel 2XL, it sounds phenomenal and will go as loud as you can handle it with no distortion. The acoustics in...

I actually have an F body so I'll be able to answer that question in a few months or so, I just figured I'd ask on the A body forum because It's more active and I figure if it'll fit in a A body it'll fit in an F body, being slightly longer and wider.

Looks like it could be made to fit easily, any side pictures possibly?

Any pictures? I was thinking about buying one to try out, I just figured I might have to indent the sump a bit to clear the steering, if that.

What do you mean by be careful on shutdown? I assumed a stock oil pan wouldn't have any major issues.

So I was looking around the other day online and saw mention of someone using an oil pan from a 94 Dakota 318, so I searched it up and found some pictures and it looks like it would be damn close to fitting, just clearing the steering linkage. DODGE DAKOTA Dorman Oil Pans 264-233 Has anyone...

Very strange, that's definitely the right valve body that would have came from that year transmission, you can tell its an early model by the lack of a lockup boost tube, this makes me want to go home and check my '88 and see if its the same as yours without the PT body.

Post up a picture of the rest of the valve body pieces, it should have a solenoid block on it with 2 solenoids if it came from any kind of 42RH/A500
