Oil pan dimensions

What year is your car? What front suspension are you using?

The Milodon pan fit mine OK on a '69 Cuda with the 6.1 Hemi and AlterKtion front suspension.

That tube is an air equalizer between the rubber boots on each end of the rack. You can rotate the rubber boots to rotate that tube out of the way.

Jim,

It's a 1966 Dart, Alterk front suspension. I know the Milodon pan tends to fit the B and E bodies and even the later A bodies, for whatever reason, the engine appears to sit lower in our early A's. Thanks for the tip on that tube, I figured it must've been something like that, didn't seem to make sense being much anything else. Great to know I can rotate it down, that will give me at least an extra 1/2" I'd imagine.

I have a 2008 5.7 truck hemi, with the stock truck pan and a HDK K member. the front of the pan over the steering rack is approximately 1 3/4 - 2 inches deep from engine block and gets a little deep closer to the rear sump area. The rear sump at its deepest point of the oil drain plug area is approximately 8 inches and the rear sump starts approximately 10 inches from the face of the rear of the block at the transmission. My camera skills area not that great. Not sure why the pictures are at 90 deg. On my computer they are not

Canadian Cuda,

I have the same problem with pictures being sideways. All told, you're awesome. Those pictures were everything I needed for the truck pan. With rotating the "steering boot equalizer tube" (sounds like an engineer named it right?) down I think I should have plenty of room to run the truck pan. It looks to be at most 7" deep in the back which is much shallower than I expected and I'm pleased to see that. That shouldn't put my ground clearance any worse than what my trans pan will be and I've contemplated the idea of adapting some sort of skid plate off a modern car as well. I'll have to do some more measurements but at this point I'm definitely leaning towards the truck pan as they're under $100 new online. I do have to consider the lack of baffling though since I might do some autocross style events in this car.
