383 oil pan and pickup tube?

Yea the 187 and 699 are the way to go and there is another one that'll work to. Either way unless you plan on changing the front steering linkage you need the pan with the notch, on the drivers side of the pan, to clear the idler arm. The 187 however may not come with either a sump front or rear baffle but you can fabricate your own and have them welded in, I did. :evil2:

:notworth: :thumblef: Thanks for the info!! Hey Demon, it's a /6. Using Shumak's and /6 K-mem. It's a 74', so all the suspension and steering linkage are the same as a 318 car. So, which pan would be best? How would I use these numbers(187 & 699) to obtain a pan. What do they mean? Are there aftermarket pans available or do I have to find one in a boneyard? Damn... that was a lot of questions?
