Also... They had a aluminum water pump housing but was they pump aluminum? Anyone have a picture of the aluminum 7 blade fan? Thanks

I also believe they used a 383 oil pan. 4711724-f93f_12(Medium).jpg (183 downloads) ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

This is a VERY GOOD BOOK if your interested in these cars. ( email jschild@hte.net or www.theautoreview.com ) This book shows many of the different part numbers used in these engine IF they were DIFFERENT than the stock 1968 Hemi engine. It does not list a different part number for a oil pan so you could be correct in saying they used a 1968 Hemi pan. Learn something new everyday. ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

If so, at the same time did they move the motor away from the K-member (K-member to crank centerline distance)? If so, that might have gained steering linkage to oil pan clearance and you could used a B-body hemi oil pan.

JRepucci OP master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 3,115 Sacramento,California	The 1/2 spacers lowered the k-frame and that lowered the whole assembly together... I think they used the hemi pan and just the way the hemi mounted to the k-frame raised the crank center which in turn raised the pan away from the steering linkage.

I think they used the hemi pan and just the way the hemi mounted to the k-frame raised the crank center which in turn raised the pan away from the steering linkage. Ok, something had to change. If a big block B-body 440 pan won't fit a big block A-body, then a hemi pan shouldn't fit either unless the motor was moved up. There are sure a lot of little tricks on those things. Next time someone sees Bob Tarozzi, thank him for figuring it out.
