I use the stock 6 quart OEM 1970-71 Mopar street Hemi and 440 6 pak oil pans and the stock 440 3/8 pick up My car runs high nines to low tens corked up on Oregon pump gas, 518 C.I. in a 3450 lb. Duster. I've built a bunch of B-RB and 426 Hemi motors over the years, some with external oiling and some with stock type oiling like my current combination is. I really like the current deal, I shift at or above 7000 RPM on every run no oiling problems in 6 years of beating on motors in the car with that set up Last edited by Cab_Burge; 09/10/12 12:11 AM.

I know most people switch at this point, but it isn't needed if everything else is right. But if you already have the external oil pickup system, why not use it?
