]What would you guys recommend for a deep oil pan for a 70 E-body with stock steering? I have been running the 440-source aluminum 8-quart pan but it is way too tight with the miloden external pickup fittings. The 440-source pan would be OK if it didn't have the angle on the passenger side for the extra quart. [/size]

I have the same 440 source pan on my cuda w/ all stock front suspension. I use the Milodon oil pump w/ the front ext. pickup port, a stock factory oil pump cover (b/c I hate the remote filter mounts), and a single static pickup in the pan. It all fits great and I can leave it all hooked up when R&Ring the motor.

I used a stock 1970/1971 6 quart street hemi and 440 6 pack 6 quart oil pan with the stock 3/8 inch 440 pickup in my 511 and later 517 C.I. pump gas stroker motor in my 1971 Duster street and strip car. I put hundreds of runs on that motor and 3000 + miles on it with one oiling issue when I let the oil level get down close the add mark, the oil pressure would drop down after about 3 seconds after letting off at the end of the 1/4 mile running 10.00s at 134.+ MPH, adding oil to the full line fixed and prevented that after seeing it the first time No bearing damage either I had to trim the idler arm side of the rear lip on the K member to clear the oil pan after moving the motor back right at one inch from the stock location IHTHs

Glad I'm not the only one. I still advise to use the half inch pickup because it's a minimal change with an obvious benefit, but I wasn't able to due to how they clearanced the block. Didn't leave enough shoulder on the pickup port area to overdrill and rental.

Mine fits but it is a PIA to get by the rounded edge at the front of the kframe. The next time the motor is out, trim that stock K-frame opening. Even a little helps. Cutting and welding the opening bigger is the next level.

Is your engine still in the stock location? I just can't figure out how you have any clearance issues w/ that pan?

Why not get a CSR carbon shield? That will take the place of your current shield and blanket. Those flexplate shields are always a PITA. I don't think any reasonably deep oil pan is gonna make your problem any easier. I'd either trim the K frame or get the CSR shield. A powerglide (wish I had one) or TH400 I understand, but a TH350?
