I have a 73 Charger with a 440, HV oil pump, windage tray, and 402 oil pan. I am setting up the car for autocross and am worried about starving the engine for oil. As of right now I have crappy all-seasons, Radial TA, on 15" wheels. In the near future I am upgrading to Direzza ZII on 17" wheels. I have 2.45 rear gears currently so I will never have to shift out of 1st at AutoX.
Do I risk losing oil pressure with my current setup?
Do I risk losing oil pressure with the upgraded wheels and tires.

yup

oh ya

look on summit web site, and/or that other race parts web site.

Thank You,
Looks like summit has a $100 6qt hemi repro pan.

You need a wide pan that's baffled not a 6 quart stock style pan. Also get an accumulator

I assume those will interfere with some headers?

Milodon's stock replacement pans have a minimal baffle in them, better than stock but not as pricey as an all out road race pan. How much it helps, I dunno. I usually use that and a windage tray as well as a lifter valley baffle as the extent of my oil control setup, but that is on a smallblock, you don't need the lifter valley baffle on a BB.

An accumulator might be cheap insurance though.

Milodon

That's the name I couldn't think of. Look on their web site to see what they make.

And the other parts web site. Jegs

Milodon 31580 is the road race pan. Its expensive.

Yes they are, $600 or more. But worth it rather than blowing a motor.

For the Milodon 31580 pan you need the 18328 oil pickup about $500 bucks from Summit
Good luck on them being available from Milodon

They provide peace of mind, they keep at least a quart trapped at all times. Doubt clearance from headers would be an issue at all. I run a Road Race pan AND an accumulator on my current rendition. Car has REALLY good brakes and REALLY sticky back tires, it corners ok too, at least it used too.....

I completely agree.
I think it is a good thing that more and more people are ordering these road racing parts.
It may make Milodon consider us Mopar fans profitable instead of just the Ford and GM guys.
Supply and demand

I have one of those pans plus the 3/8 pickup for it. Was going to use it on the new Indy motor for the car but the Indy came with a revised version of the pan. Its setup for an external pickup now. New pan camping out on the shelf. Any takers? Pm me.

Thanks, I decided to buy a Milodon pan before I AutoX it. For now the 944 will have to do.
Has anyone tried to put this pan in a 73+ B-body yet?

I run a Kevco on my 360, stock size but baffled. I'm not sure if they make a big block one, but they are less expensive than Milodon...

Kevko can build big block pans. I have several big block pans from them.

Its too bad MaMopar never baffled their pans in the first place, E/SPecially for those cars that were marketed for hi-per usage (RT, TA-AAR, etc); the 440-6 and Hemi cars had baffles for acceleration/deceleration, but that alone doesn't do enough for cornering.... but that pan will help the BB engine live longer.

Get the Milodon pan for your BB. On my SB I've welded f/r/side horizontal plates for baffeling (did that ~40 years ago... best mod I've ever done to the car to save the engine!)... I may someday upgrade to the Milodon pan as it appears to be a hi-quality product worht its expense. I advise other people I meet (w/Mopars) that the 1st thing they need to do is modify or change their oil pan to include baffeles.
