Got any photos of this pan? If I'm thinking of the same pan, that is the one the Milodon and some other aftermarket deep-sump pans are based on. Still doesn't quite fit in my '65 Coronet (sits on the drag link) but that is the closest one there is for sure. I have a small shim in the tranny mount that works very well to lift the engine just a hair so as not to screw with the driveshaft angle much.
The original pan looks very similar but the rear of the pan is shallow like the front. Go to http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/oilpans.html for some comparison photos. About halfway down Rob Lipinski has an entry with 4 pans. Is yours like the one he has labelled as a '68 Fury pan? I disagree that it's a 187 for several reasons (the most obvious being it has a different number stamped on it) but that is the pan I've been looking for. I think the 402 and the 187 are switched in those photos.

No, it is an exact reproduction of a 1973-4 B-body oil pan. It still wears its big "971" stamping, which is the proper pan for those years. I don't know what our original pans look like, but this pan sure looks like it was made to go in there. The 1966-72 oil pans have the sump too far forward, and the rear of the pan rides too low. This new pan is listed with vendors as a "B-RB, stock capacity, center sump oil pan". The capacity of this new pan, I'm pretty sure, is five quarts including the filter. George?
