Emne: what oil pan to use in a 62 dodge dart with a 360?

HI all,

I dont post very much. I tend to hang in the background and content myself with reading about everyone else's adventures. However, I am in need of some advice, and am hoping someone else has been down the path I'm going and can help me out. I have a 62 dart 440, originally a 318 car, now with a mild 440, 65 pushbutton 727, and an 8.75 rear with 3.91 gears and a detroit locker. This has been my weekly race car for the last 10 years or so, running in the low 12's. But the 440 is getting a little tired and I want to make some changes. I never really did all that well with the car since I put the 440 in it. My previous race car had a mild 360 in it, and both me and the car were deadly with that combination. So, to make a short story long, I decided to go back to what worked for me in the past. I picked up and eagle steel crank and a set of H beam rods for 360, and then a couple months later landed a set of edelbrock small bock heads and a performer rpm air gap intake for a price I couldnt refuse. So I decided to try and build a low 12 second small block for the car. I got motor mounts from schumacher. What I never considered, and have only just started to think about, is what oil pan do I need to use for this application? I'd like to run a pan with a little more capacity than stock - like a 7 quart oil pan instead of the factory 4.5 to 5 quart pan. I know on the early mopars, the engine sits a little further front in relation to the K frame than on the later mopars. What I need to know is, does a stock oil pan fit in a 62 dodge, and if so, then what Milodon or Moroso oil pan do I want to use to get the increased capacity? When I tried looking at their web sites, they were kind of vague - descriptions like, this pan fits most popular applications......With the big block, Milodon makes a pan specifically for the 62 dodge, but they dont say anything about the small block pans. Any help or experience you're willing to share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

JohnP
