Ill look into finding a different pan thanks for the warning, i really wasnt sure what would fit in my little valiant theres not alot of documentation out there on the web about putting a big block in a 62 valiant.

I have a tube chassis, so can't offer help on what will fit your car. A lot is going to depend on how much rpm you are going to turn, weight of the oil, and G forces. Maybe starting another thread on oil pans for your project is the way to go.
