Mancini oil pan

[polsled]

Checking to see if the Mancini oil pan looks correct for a 71 six barrel road runner

To make it easier for knowledgeable people to look at the pan. Add a link to Mancini and to the pan. 121 people looked at thread.

Adding a link is way above my pay grade but I was able to find a correct pan

 

[WileERobby]

Are you sure ?

 

[Fran Blacker]

If your looking for a stock pan only one I found was 4+1 in the filter. NG for 6 pack. Did I miss others? I'd look else where, 440 source?

If it's this one then yes.

Mancini "SPECIAL" Oil Pan & Pick Up, 6 qt.

 

[Don Frelier]

I can't recommend that one. The drain plug on mine wouldn't tighten at all. Of course it was filled with oil when I found out so it was an unnecessary hassle.

Thisis what I have coming now

I'd check the drain plug as Don said, it could be same mfg. Better than putting it on and have problems.

That's great advice Fran.
I do that, and I also fill them up on the bench to make sure there are no pinhole weeps from poor welds (after two Milodons with that issue).
Much easier to find any problems before it's been installed!

 

[polsled]

Will definitely check out first

Easiest way is probably just fill it with water.

Easiest way is probably just fill it with water.

To find leaks water isn't the best because surface tension. You can fill a glass of water if done carefully it will above the top of the rim of glass. Gas or lacquer thinner works well. The pan OP ordered doesn't have seams, just checking drain plug so he won't have the problem you had.
