    Amazon oil pan - will this fit B/RB in an A-body

    Ad says it's the 6 qt E / Bbody pan. The front won't fit the Abody BB k-member w/o notching the k. No clearance notch for the center link/idler arm end. FWIW, just my take from experience........ Some here have posted CL/idler issues with the 187 depending on fore/aft engine location it...

    1967 Barracuda

    We ran the largest you could fit and feel acceptable way back with Hooker FWs. I believe the tires on my old SBP Cragars are E-78-14s. Car stances were altered to help as well. There was a learning curve, especially on right turns, speed bumps, and potholes, lol.

    Ya' might check some videos by Back 9 on youtube. A couple of several below. The second one is pretty important (IMO) for those new to the sixpack setup.

    Big Block 440 Flexplate Install

    It shouldn't fit the "wrong" way. 1 bolt is offset. A small spot of red should be fine. Good idea to cross tighten things FSM free download.......... https://mymopar.com/service-manuals/

    68 383 oil filter w/ anti-drain back valve

    I believe there's lots of opportunity for oil to leak down / back prior to the filter. The electric is likely have a bit quicker read than a mechanical. Do you happen to have a mechanical gauge as well? If not, you may want to install one at least temporarily. Anti drain does show up in the...

    Engine Installation

    IMO, probably better to use the carb plate held with 4 5/16" correct length bolt engagement spreading the load over all the intake bolts. I use end of head to opposite end of head as lift points when doing engine/trans assy. Bulkhead connector clearance can be a little tight as well as heater...
