I have always had great luck running Milodon oil pans.  I am currently running one on the Beast.  It is a 7 quart setup with decent ground clearance.  My header collectors are lower than the pan.  Summit and Jeg's both sell Milodon for your application.  If not, go to Milodon's website and contact them for what you need...    :cheers:

the Milodon 7 QT hangs too low ,  the wide Milodon pan will fit the crossmember but not an A body & the pan has to be installed once the engine is in place , I know Brewers has some Big block A body pans

I am no A-body expert, but here is what I have found with my Challenger.

I was looking for a '402' pan to replace my current '933' pan.  That link to 440 Source shows the factory pans clearly.  Unfortunately, I have discovered that a lot of these factory pans are only 4 quart capacity!

So I am following the advice of my engine builder (and CP), and getting the Hemi pan from Mancini.

There is a good selection of oil pans on Mancini's website.  I don't know how difficult it will be to ship to Denmark, though.

From Mancini web:
""Center sump style is used on passenger car applications, while the rear sump style is used in pickups""

No other options, ..???   Any Center sump style will fit my 68 Cuda...???
