Help! Center/Rear Sump?

[ckj688]

Okay, because of a few things that I have taken into account, I need either a center or rear sump oil pan now...

Is there any advantages w/ center sump vs. rear sump?

Also, are there differences between a car's 360 oil pan and a truck's?

I have a 360 from an '86 Ram, I was looking at this:

I just need to know if this will fit my application!

Thanks everyone!

I hate to be aggressive on getting a response but I need to order this tonight! My feeling is that the oil pan will fit, but I like to make absolute sure because I have no time to screw this up!

What is your application? Center sump for cars, rear sump for trucks is the general rule of thumb.

if you have the stock steering then you can't run rear sump. The oil pan will hit your drag link.

It's my '70 Dart, the rack and pinion wont fit w/ the front sump I have now, so I guess I'm looking for a center sump?

Front steer or rear steer?

I'm not understanding you. I take it your rack is in front of the K-member? How is it hitting your center sump pan?

Front steer or rear steer?

You and I are on the same thought pattern.

I apologize for no pics, here's what I'm working with:

Believe it or not, you already have a center sump pan. Looks like you will need the rear sump pan and pickup.

Really? lol, wow, I feel REALLY stupid, to me that seemed pretty far forward, yeah, then I guess rear it is!
