Oil Pan - 6 quart - A or C body with tie rod relief - EXTRA THICK

These are an exact reproduction of the 1966-69 (early style) 426 Hemi B Body pan, Chrysler part number 2780547. Factory Chrysler Oil pans, and the "made in Taiwan" reproductions on the market are usually made out of steel which is about .049" thick. We've reproduced these in our EXTRA THICK steel, which is about .083" thick, or about 70% thicker than normal. The extra thickness not only helps to keep the pan more rigid and the pan rails straight and flat, but it also helps if you accidentally scrape the pan on that odd speed bump or driveway. These pans feature the large "tie rod" dimple which also makes them a great pan to use when doing engine swaps and putting a big block into an "A" body or "C" body application. These are similar to the hard to find "187" or "699" factory pans, however the sump has been made deeper at about 5 3/4" inches, for a larger 6 quart oil capacity, and baffles have been added to the interior to help with oil control. With the half century old 187 and 699 pans getting very hard to find, and the ones that are out there looking extremely beat up, these are also a great answer for those big block engine swaps. We recommend using our 101-1009 oil pickup if your block has standard 3/8" NPT threads, or our 111-1014 if your block has 1/2" NPT threads. 1/2" NPT threads are usually only found on original 426 Hemi blocks, or if someone has enlarged (drilled and tapped) the 3/8" threads out to 1/2" on a 383/400/440 Wedge block. This pan is supplied in a in a very nice black electroplated finish, the same process used in modern replacement body parts. Can be installed as-is or painted if desired.
