ok...68 fury... the oil pan looks like its been used as a pinata...440 Source sells a 6 qt pan with the idler arm notch that they say fits a c body for $250...Mancini (and various other vendors) also sell a copy of the 2780547 hemi pan for the same price which appears to be the same pan with the same notch...but no mention of c body compatibility...Mancini also sells a Mopar Restoration 2780547 copy for $200...so the dumb questions are...(1) are these all the same pan? (2) do they actually fit our cars? (3) how much lower does the extra quart capacity cause these to hang? (4) are they complete crap? (5) and why would a hemi pan even have a notch? so nascar teams could use them in c bodies in 65?
 
Not having looked at the part numbers, it could well be that the 426HEMI pan also fits 440s or even 383s. Considering they are all B/RB motors.
 
Hi Volksworld, did you ever find out if the 547 pan fit?
 
no, wasn't willing to perform that $250 experiment myself so i hauled out the #10 ferguson body hammer and straightened the original one....cause really...who's gonna see it?
