rear sump with dipstick tube is BB truck. i used the 6 quart hemi/6bbl pan on mine, and have no issues. according to the old mopar perf book, the windage tray is worth 15 hp at 5500rpm. worth it for the price? yes, but open the slots in the tray for better oil drainback.

Ok so I got a truck oil pan, is there any certain dipstick I need, and whats the deal why is it threaded? Do some 440s have dipsticks that go in the block and some through the oil pan? Is there a specail fitting that goes into the pan and that you can fit the dipstick tube into. Or what? Im sooo confused of what I need! Pics anyone?

can not use a truck pan on a car, it will hit the centerlink. the dipstick has always gone thru ther block, you can get stick and tube from either a vendor here, or from ma mopar. new one are a really tight fit into the block, i've had to file a few down in my lifetime to get them to fit properly.
