    Thanks mate and there's nothing "unfortunate" about that my friend. The 472ci Hemi is the best selling crate Hemi. Out sells the 426, 528ci by about 5 to 1. Because it's the best all round engine for street cars.

    Look forward to updates of your build.  :2thumbs:

     Great looking Hemi  :2thumbs:

     One thing I was wondering though, is the oil pan in the pic the one your going to use? And is it the same one I found in Milodons Drag racing pan section?
    #31460
    383-440 & HEMI - 7" DEEP, REAR SUMP 
    For 1965 & later cars that are lower and require a shorter pan than the #31470, this pan offers increased ground clearance yet adequate oil supply. As the reduced pan depth hinders the pickup placement, you may need to shut the car off on deceleration. There is, however, maximum flow available on acceleration and allows the 8500 range when the proper Milodon oil system is used.

    Pan Capacity is 8 Quarts Plus Filter -
    7" Sump Depth

     If it is, the part that would concern me is the "As the reduced pan depth hinders the pickup placement, you may need to shut the car off on deceleration."
     Ya might want to run that by your engine builder, or maybe call Milodon just to be safe.

    Thanks for the heads and in put, much appreciated. I'm just going with what Tim uses on his engines, he's that good, I trust everything he does. I checked my parts list and here is the part number for the sump: MIL31160 Hemi Competition Oil Pan and a MIL21000 Single Line Hemi Static System.

    You can read up on them at Summit: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=MIL%2D31160&N=700+115&autoview=sku I will be having mine painted Hemi orange as per the factory cars.

    :cheers:

     Nice looking 10 quart oil pan  :thumbsup: , I take it your not using the stock K member? Which front suspension are you going to use? What are you going to do about a dipstick tube since the pan doesn't have previsions for it? is it in the block? or is the pan getting modified?
     The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to get ideas incase I change my front end on my Duster. I'd really like to run a 10 qt. pan like this one, It holds plenty of oil and doesn't hang so low I have to jack the car up like a 4X4! LOL

    Yup, it is quite a nice oil pan. I' just letting Tim take care of everything. I've got a NOS Hemi K-Frame we'll be using. Tim got a hold of of it and asked if I wanted it. So, I assume it will work with that pan, or else Tim would have advised me of it, and, I'm guessing the dipstick is in the block. Good input though, I will email Tim to double check. For suspension I'm using the XV Level 1 kit.


    He's basically doing everything so all we have to do is drop the engine in, hook it up and start. Some may think lazy but Tim is good, many say the best so why fix it if it ain't broke. lol He has been really good to me and I'd recommend him to anyone & everyone in a heartbeat. Make the engine building/buying experience that much more enjoyable.

    Thanks also Kingtroll. :2thumbs: I will run the dyno videos as soon as I get them.
