72' Duster 340 Oil Pan Clearence - 12/22/17 06:28 AM
Putting a 340/4-speed in my 72' slant six 3 on the tree Duster. After I blasted my oil pan I'm seeing small holes. I'm looking to replace. I see after market ones from Milodon and others. But none have the "notch" on the one side. Many threads I read don't clearly state if this is needed for clearance for the drag link or not? I did get a V8 drag link to install when I update the front end. SO is the notch critical for my application? I was looking at Milodon 30750.
Thanks for your help.

The notch like the one in this ebay ad?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/73-Plymouth-Dus...rt/162753026589I honestly don`t know how necessary it is to be there.

Yes. The original has a notch like the one you mentioned is currently on Ebay. Also I was looking at the same one offered by Summit Racing. I even checked FABO and most of the threads I read are related to having the correct oil pan for originality. Does anyone have a 70-72 duster with a small block than can check for clearance related to the "notch"? The center link I have is a drop link 70-72 a body.

The center link for a 72 A body should be all the same regardless of engine. 2535077 is the mopar part number. Unless yours was changed out it should have been the correct one on the car.
