oil pick up

[zigs]

when switching to a 187 or 699 oil pan , do you have to switch oil pick up also.
This is on a 400 block or can you use the original pick up.

Edit: rechecked my notes and they are old. If i recall correctly, the straight tube works on non-baffled pans and there was a curved unit on the rare baffled pans.

I think Melling sells them if you do need a replacement?

I'm sure someone can confirm what's best to use now days...

Number on my pan is 933 looked it up and said pan was used on 400 and 440 HP engines
