I need to order a oil system for my car in the next week or two. I was looking to go at least a 7- 8 qt pan. Milodon part# 30931 which has a straight portion on the pan, and a hole for the external line/pickup. But doesn't say if it works in the Early B bodies. But, the pan #30930 says it will clear, with minor 3/4 notching, I only assume this one will work? Will a single line pickup be sufficient for a 572 hemi turning near 7K? It will probably only see 6800 or so. I plan to use a standard production style HV Melling oil pump, and just plumb the external line to the large oil pickup/suction oil galley on the front of the block? Has anyone ran just a single line system in this fashion before?
BTW car is a 65 Belvedere.
Oil pans.
