Oil pan and pickup tube question

[mopar Joe 65]

I,am puting a 68 383 motor in my 65 fury 3 , the oil pan i was told to use is a 187 i think it,s a 4 quart pan but the pickup tube for my 68 i think is longer i cant seem to find one for a 65 motor any suggestions ?

The pickup tube should be the same, the 187 pan has a notch for clearance of the steering linkage. Unless your other pan is a deeper pan. What pan is currently on the 383?

I think it come with a 402 pan which is deeper and no cut out for tie rod.

You need strainer pn 2463467 to go with the 187 pan.

I think it come with a 402 which is deeper.

Thanks bud, i think i will use the 187 and look for a tube.

the 402 pan is less capacity compared to the 187 pan which is correct for your C body.. The 402 is for a B body and could be sucked dry by high rpm operation for too long,so be carful using a 402 on anything, keep rpm low. I have used a 187 on a B body which gives more oil supply

Thanks guys for the info, I think the 187 pan would be the one to use but I can’t seem to locate the 2463467 strainer anywhere? I guess if I have to I can cut one down and retread it, yuk!

They aren't that hard to find. Summit or Jegs probably has them.
