Is there anything special about a 63 Max Wedge oil pan?
I've been tasked with finding a proper oil pan for this Sport Fury. Was the pan specific to the MW or will commonly found pans interchange?

The 1962,63 and 1964 M.W. oil pans are for those motors only, they have a longer sump along with the those stock dang 1/2 air sucking oil pickups They held another quart of oil also, five quarts instead of four quarts like all the other BB in those cars When I raced my original 1963 415 HP M.W. Belevdere in NHRA stock classes I ended up using a stock OEM 1966 to 1969 street Hemi oil pan and pick up They are deeper, hold another quart of oil and they don't look stock either But they sure do work well and they allow you to use the stock Mopar windage trays for better oil control and increased HP above 5000 RPM

Thanks for the info.
It is an original owner car and some restoration shop sold off the old pan and pick up years ago. The car is in excellent shape other than the mismatched oil pan.

I thought the later MW motors had a baffle similar to the later Hemi pans. I use a MP repro 70/71 6qt Hemi pan, and it has a baffle front and rear. the M.W. motors where made from mid 1962 to early spring of 1964, they all used the same oil pan in the pictures along with the air sucking 1/2 NPT swinging pickup All the M.W. oil pans did have internal slosh acceleration and deacceleration baffles in them All the other early passenger car BB oil pans had nothing in them like most C body oil pans are The stock 1966 and up Mopar BB windage tray will not fit into a stock M.W. oil pan without denting the front of the pan under the timing cover, trust me on that one I'm getting ready to assemble a 1963 Fury that will have the 1966 and later B body K member so the later headers will fit better and that ends up sliding the motor back about 1.5 inches and lowers it also for better traction and handling

Yeah, I slid a 69 K frame under my 65 Belvedere to ease engine fitment. With the MW car being a nicely restored original owner car I doubt seriously that the cost of the pan will be a major issue. He's fairly aware that it;ll have a price tag on it.

From all my research it was the 413 max wedge p/u 's (3/8")that had issues not the 1/2" 426 MW p/u..??
You be wrong on that They all sucked air when low on oil or under hard acceleration or hard stopping Trust me on this, been there, done that and learned about that the hard way
