Idler arm problem? Please help

The 383/440 A-body #893 pan is big bux when it comes to pans.

Here's a for sale search for: 893 pan

This one sold in 12 days was advertised for $600 and didn't look real pretty to me. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=322640&highlight=893+pan

The closest one to not needing work (already reworked) seems to have sold near $850.

I think you current pan is the next best alternative including aftermarket pans.

www.rareparts.com makes a 383 pitman. http://fcrcmachine.com/i-14215376-r...1969-dodge-dart-plymouth-barracuda-20492.html

But not 100% sure that will solve your problem.

Easiest and least expensive would be to ball peen clearance dent your pan. Spot re-spray and drive on. You can replace a pan in a big block without removing motor. Will have to drop the centerlink.
