Hemi oil pan

[Mopar Fred]

I’m putting a big block 383 in my 1967 barracuda. I am reading that you can use a hemi oil pan with my K frame. My question is since the hemi oil pan is 6 quarts. Will I need to put the skid plate on the bottom of the K frame, since this is a deeper oil pan, then a 5 quart

It wouldn't hurt.
If you're not up to fabbing one yourself, contact U.S. Cartool- they are coming out with a skidplate for A body K frames.

What is your ride height going to be. I doubt a stock style hemi pan would be much lower than the headers.

Here is a picture of my set up. Im using a 66-69 hemi oil pan on a 440 with the DC spool type k frame. The bottom of the pan sump is about a 1/2” lower than the bottom of the k frame so I added a reproduction skid plate for safe measure.

I run the 66-69 hemi pan without a skid plate. It hangs down about 3/4" lower than the k member.

The original BB pan is available.

The oil pan from a '65 Sprt Fury with a B/RB is identical to the Hemi pan other than it's about 3/4" shorter bottom to rail.

After reading through all of the responses I am going to use the reproduction oil pan for big blocks in A body. I found one on Mancini and 440 source. Thank you everyone for your response. It was very helpful.

Make sure that your oil pickup is in the proper location.

Which is touching the bottom of the oil pan. U will need a longer pick up if the pan is deeper. Kim
