What is better to use in a Bracket car ?
Kevko M301 pan?
I have old Super Stock style pan with the tie rod tube or should I get a Stefs or Charlie's pan? or Milodon?

What do you guys use?

I use a rear sump 8 qt Milodon truck pan.

But I dont have the stock K member and Recirculating ball steering to contend with.

I have 2 kevco pans I like the kickout they have. I would think the stefs or Charlie's would fit better

Gotta pay close attentionto header clearance. There may be issues with the old SS pan with drag link hole and seems like not worth the extra work to R&R. The Milodon 8 qt. prevents some headers from fitting (Notch in K-member to clear the right/front corner of the pan helps R&R also.), but TTI is one that does fit well. I believe their 7 qt. pans solve any header clearance issues.

I have the Miloddon 8 qt. on my 360 in the pic with scraper and stock pump.

How is your ground clearance? Milodon 8 qt. is a bit shallower than a Moroso 8 qt. and likely the SS pan. Their 7 qt. is even better.

Header clearance was a real problem on my kevco with my hooker headers. I had to modify the pan and move header tubes.

I run Milodon 8 quart pans and have to section the passengers side to clear my Hedman's.

I have no problem with the Kevko pan and header clearance ,
Myron your right about the SS pan it is a P I N A to pull the engine with it.
The only reason I was thinking of the SS pan was the pickup for it runs straight down and the pickup area is boxed in with some trap doors

I had a Milodon that the center link went thru, looked cool but was a pia when pulling the motor. Milodon makes another one but the way it kicks out on both sides would be a problem for my Tubular Automotive headers as they are close to the oil pan. I 've had the Moroso 8 qt. on my past three motors as well as my new 408.

I run an 8 qt Milodon in my late B. Had to make a slight mod to the K member. Headers fit fine.

I run the Milodon 8 qt. in my 69 Dart with TTI headers and all stock suspension, all good but as Myron said the stock K frame needs a notch on the right side.


416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out.
11.06 open headers----so far!!

Same here with the Milodon and TTI headers, no complaints.
