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.
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.

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

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

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.

Milodon 31580 is the road race pan. Its expensive.
Yes, but $600 is a lot less than an engine rebuild where I live.
You always could get a weld up kit from an oval track supplier and double up on it for both sides of the sump to add capacity and trap doors. Maybe cost you $100 plus time and labor.
Big thing is to keep oil around the pick up. This is why good pans are expensive. They have internal sumps and gates to trap oil around the pick up in specific directions so that there is always oil at the tube.

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 the Milodon Road Race Pan on a '68, never needed an accumulator with this set-up. Plenty of time of the road course.

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.
