BBM/Hemi stocker oil pan

Phillip marvetz · 06-26-2013, 09:09 PM

Chris,
It's a real pain in the ***** to check bearings unless you notch the K member and the bearings need to be checked quite often. I guess if you don't have one of these cars you probably are not aware of that though.
The pan you are recommending is listed as a 4 quart capacity. Do you think that is wise considering the RPM Tom is going to be turning? This is not a warmed over 440 in a street driven Dart.
Tom, If you use one of those pans you are asking for trouble. Take a look at the factory Nascar pans, They are available on ebay once in awhile. You are going to want to notch the K member for clearance no matter which pan you end up buying.
Do not buy one from my buddy in Waldo Florida, He will sell you the ebay one I listed and charge you $300.00 for it. Been there done that. Good luck on your project.

Yep,I have a B-body car and a a-body with 440's.I can pull both pans by dropping the idler arm. Moroso has a 5 qt Hemi pan as does Milodon.

73 and 74 B Body is a Bear to find 6 quart that fits unless you move
engine back a inch or two. Anyone have any experience?

68-7000 when we used to race it..why??

Phillip marvetz · 07-04-2013, 01:47 PM

Well because a Hemi needs to be spun over 8000rpm and I doubt a 5 quart pan has enough capacity. Also the 62-65 K member is different than the later model units which brings us back to the fact that Toms K member is going to have to be notched so the oil pan will fit therefore he should just get the larger capacity unit and done with it. This is assuming his car has the early K member still installed. It cost at least 20k to build one of these engines and I sure would not recommend he use a stock type 4-5 quart pan.
Tom, Please let us know what you end up using.
