I'm getting the last of the parts needed to get the 508 into my 68 Coronet wagon. Last thing I need to figure out is an oil pan. I got a 440 source deep pan with the motor, however I'd really rather not run it as the car does sit pretty low and dragging the pan on bumps doesn't sound like a good time to me. Wondering if I can get away with a hemi pan/pickup setup. The motor does have a HV pump on it. What say you Moparts gods?

The Hemi pan is a good one. The Hemi pan plus 3 qt oil accumulator is pretty much bullet proof. If your engine needs/wants the HV pump due to bearing clearance or full groove bearings, I'd go ahead and run it. Even the Hemi pan is an inch or so deeper than stock... a K frame mounted skid plate is a good idea. The attached is a "thread within a thread" on skid plates. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post6995942

DEEP pan ...longer sump ...whatever ... a good supply of oil is the BESTest idea..
Agreed 100%.
Next winter I plan on sticking a tubular K under the car at which point I'll add an extension on to the sump of the stock pan to give more capacity.

I would really rather run the deep pan if I can get away with it but I am very nervous about dragging it on something when we're 100's of miles from home on Power Tour or doing something else.
I've been running this Milodon system for over 20 years.Only scrapped the pan once when a rim cracked and lost air,,,,,,,,FAST I was in the middle lane,tire went flat and I almost hit the curb in the left lane,yanked the wheel to the right and the pan scrapped.Other than that I'm carefull

i run the 402 pan an high pressure pump rather than high volume works great.
HP or HV ? ... through a set oil passage size ...same/same.
