Windage Tray on 340 - Use the original or go with new Milodon windage tray with new larger Milodon oil pan? Is there a difference?

Is this the road race pan thats gated?
I have the milodon U weld it gated pan kit, that I was going to use on my next motor, but it has a full T head shape.

No. That’s the “Low Pro”. It has the notch in middle to create a higher spillover wall during acceleration. That feature was used in the road race pan too.

I have an old do it yourself kit from Moroso I think. It would need a lot more mods to fit in our K-member cars.

 

[Mr Cuda]

Your right, it was moroso.
It looks just like that once I welded it together. I just havent put it on a pan yet.
The biggest clearance problem would be fixed by long pitman and idler.
I expect that pan would be $800 if the other one is mid $500

$614 from Mancini

The curve of K-member rear lip creates wide pan issues.

Really so in A-body 73-76 K-member applications I help test fit it on.

As much pan as possible!! :

This car is so modified, that the final fit of engine/pan suspension/k member will be on the table. So cutting the K is no problem.
