1973-1978 400 "917 oil pan "

[dodge1972]

Need to purchase a new big block 917 oil pan for a 74 dodge charger. Vender's sell the early 440 pan. Pan will not clear the newer k-frame. If you have a good source, please advise.

I believe 971 is what you're looking for .

Yep, that would be it....the 971. At one time, it was being reproduced. However, these days I believe you will have to search out a used one for sale.

I'm pretty sure the one available at 440source is the 971 just not anymore stamped

 

[Master Gunner]

Yup, I used the 440 source pan and it fits perfectly.

Thanks for update. I will let everyone if it fits.

Checked with Source 440 for a 971 pan. No help only stock is the 66-72 big block

Checked with 440 Source. Dealer stated his oil pan was for a pre-73 b body. If you have a good part number. I would appreciate the information. Price is not an issue. If it doesn't fit, I will just keep it

Thanks

Well, this is what I used, and like I said it fits great on my 73.

How did your oil pan install go? Did you get the pan from 440 source? I am searching for a 971 pan when I found this post.

Any answer on this pan replacing a 971? Does it work with stock pick up?
Thx

Sorry for the delay, I was at the Lucas Oil Nationals. I had no problem with either the pump or the pickup, and i use the hemi pickup.

Hemi pick-ups are 1/2 inch like most Max wedges which is not the case on other Big Blocks they are 3/8. Just making sure he doesn't get the wrong pick-up as yours must have been modified.

 

[Master Gunner]

Yup, When I did the build I had the block machined per the Direct Connection engine book for the hemi pick up, not just retapping to 1/2 pipe. I mentioned the hemi pick up because it is bigger than the standard pick up and still fit with no problems.
