Guys, I'm going to see the finished 383 build on Saturday. One of the many issues I've encountered was the size of the oil pan. At first, I got the 7 quart Milidon, but then was cautioned that the ground clearance on the front end may be an issue. Long story short, I told the engine builder to return the 7 quart and get something not as deep.
He got Milidon PN 30760, which looks to be a 4 quart stock pan. My build is "sort of" serious; far from stock. Is that factory sized pan going to be ok? On one hand I'm thinking if they used the 4 quart pans on the big 440's (not sure about the Hemi's), then it should be fine. On the other I'm thinking more oil is better?
Any help?
Thanks,
John
