Does this look like higher capacity pan?

[33 IMP]

It’s been cold here since the car was delivered. Yesterday changed the black coffee oil for new 10/40. I had purposefully not ran it much until having fresh oil. But today ran it altogether about an hour - flushing coolant. The psi settled at 45 which feels a lot better range.
I guess I hadn’t taken into account the temps here and the relatively short run times to this point.


Thanks. Thats right where I’m at. Contemplating whether actually I’ll keep the deeper pan, and if there’s any advantage given I’ll never race it.

If you decide to replace it, my go-to in your spot would probably be a repop Hemi 6qt pan. I'm betting Mancini and 440 source have em. You will need a pickup tube too.
It looks like it's got a windage tray, so you'll need two pan gaskets.

Thanks! I’ll tuck the sources away in case.

There should be a skid plate on the K member to alleviate the depth of the pan to a point

IMO, If it doesnt leak, I wouldnt change it.
As long as you know its theere , you wont do dumb stuff to hurt said pan

Thanks. Yes the bottom of the pan is 1-2” deeper than the skid plate. You’re right ‘to some point’.
The pan rail I’ve found leaks not an insignificant amount. So probably forced to remove it anyway. If I can’t remedy re-torquing I’ll likely opt for the stock Hemi pan. (I’m not immune to unintentionally doing stupid stuff - in hindsight of course …).
Thanks for the links!
