I am going to be running a High volume oil pump on a 440 and wondering if I need a deeper pan that holds an extra quart or will this suffice? I saw a Mancini generic deeper pan I am sure someone makes for them. It appeared to hold more than stock. It was $99 at Mopar nats.

I immediately put on a Moroso 7 qt pan... much cheaper than new crank, rods and bearings... even an extra qt of oil probably would not have been enough "insurance" against running dry... -Charles

May I ask why you are using a hi vol pump? live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
