440 Oil Pressure Issues..

He must have been talking about aftermarket pick ups because no factory pick up should be that far from the pan.
Sorry guy the 68 street hemi roadrunner engine , and the 67 hemi satellite I had came out that way from the factory. I bought a used hemi tierod type alum. pan off of Jim Hale back in the day and put it on the 68 engine when I switched it over to superstock, and set it up the same way, that engine was raced for 14 yrs. and never had an oiling problem, was wore out but still would lay it down when sold. Now a street car again. Just my experience on the subject , urs may vary. LOL
