5.7 oil pan

What is everyone using for an oil pan to put a 5.7 in a Duster?

I used the Milodon pan on the 5.7 in my 70 Duster. I used a 73 V8 spool mount k frame, and it fits nice.

Did you use TTI motor mounts & headers?

I originally had a fabbed aluminum pan on mine, but the welds started cracking. Have since replaced it with the Milodon setup and it's been working well for years. I have the 73+ spool style mounds and TTI headers.

Yes, I sure did. I modified the drivers side TTI motor mount, in order to make the factory AC compressor fit.

Got any pics of that?

Yep. I moved the spool saddle from the factory V8 location. I flipped it around and moved it back. Then I sawed the spool mount off the TTI mount, and made it fit. Note the countersunk allen head bolt in the next to last pic. Yep, it's that close! Also, note the spacers between block and AC compressor, to get it a little farther from the # 1 header tube. Also, I cut some of the rear mount off of the compressor, and used shorter bolts, for ease of removal in the car. Hope this helps. My motor is from a 2006 Dodge Magnum. A truck motor may not require all of this, but I just prefer the way the accessories mount on a car vs truck motor.
