Not sure what that pan is stock for, but it isn't stock for a 65 Cuda.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Your right. That's an generic pan. But the Milodon pan core is base of that 70 up type pan. It seems to be working in this 66 Cuda though.
The idea is to get the relative distances off the picture and apply it to the Milodon pan.

Yep, Right now I have a Milodon pan on my Cuda, minimal baffles but more than stock. I also have a pan from an 87 M body, it fits, that I baffled similar to the Milodon one I have. I thought of adding more baffling but my welding skills are not up to thin sheet metal, yet.

Which Milodon pan do you have?

Milodon 30750
That's the stock one with the added baffle in the back. That will have the same (or extremely close) outside dimensions as the chrome pan I posted pictures of above.
If someone in So Cal had a loose 63-66 K-frame with motor mounts I could take it over to Milodon and check hands on fitment.

So would you guys say the pan works and does what it is intended to? Andy you mentioned some control issues, were they oil pressure loss with that Valiant pullin some G's? Or just typical leaks and/or valve cover breather issues?
Mopar to the bone!!!

What am I using?
Stock pans with my own baffles. The biggest problem is that the sump is shallow (A/LA engine). In this respect the generic stock style Milodon pan is slightly worse starting point than many of the OEM pans (although it does look nicer). The best guidance is in the old DC catalog and Martin books, but there's no blueprint per se. After some experimentation, I've found the sump baffle suggested in MA (a magazine) a few years back sits too low to be very effective. Placing baffles higher, or running a second set on the sides will better trap the oil.
My only serious low pressure issues arose when the pickup was not properly located at the bottom of the sump. The accusump definately helped save the situation that weekend. Although I use the accusump, it brings its own host of issues and there were a number of years where I didn't use it.
I think E-berg used a Charlie's pan on the Green brick, and so have some vintage racers. Others have used custom steel pans or the Kevco (non street use since it sits a little lower). Beckman used a steel pan on the rallye cuda since using readily availble gaskets was a requirement. Rallye is a bit differnt than pavement, and honestly I think WRT oil control autocross is a bit different than track. Unless there's a 'skid pad' maneuver, autocross generally doesn't keep oil to any one side for a long time. However, in autocross the car is rapidly and violently changing direction so the oil is sloshing like crazy compared to road course.
