When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread
I ran mine for 5 years without a scratch on it. It sits above the K-frame. That was after literally tearing the drain plug out of a "normal" Milodon deep pan on a section of road that had dropped after a rain.
When I pulled the engine out (to paint the car) and switched heads I painted the engine and the heads Hemi Orange, painted the pan black. The dipstick I used is a Lokar locking style, it has a NPT fitting to attach it to the pan, I had to use a NPT bushing to accommodate since the pan is a larger size hole. The dipstick is a cut to length style, so you fill the pan and make the dipstick the length you need accordingly. I put a brass plug into the factory dipstick hole. The factory dipstick had issues staying in and it also had trouble catching on the windage tray when I pushed it back in, the new one works fine.
