Oil Pan for 360 Swap
Oil Pan for 360 Swap
Hi, I am currently building a 62 d-200 rat rod. It has a spring under conversion front and rear so it sits very low. My problem is that I want to swap out that poly 318 for my built up 360. The 318 uses a front sump pan, and the 360 I have is a rear sump. Because my truck is lowered so much, I cannot use the rear sump pan as I have seen others use. I also know the 318 oil pan will not fit the 360 due to the 360's larger main caps. I have not been able to find a front sump pan for the 360, new or used. I could really appreciate the help. Thanks, Joe

Hola and Ah Ho Ho Ho Joe
If you do not like the location of the Van/Truck 360 oil pan, then go for the 360 "car" version. Or warm up the A318.

Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
If you have the equipment to do what I did, it worked quite well. I took a peice of sheet metal and bent it into an "L" shape. I cut and inch and a half out of the rear sump pan, and welded the sheet metal in. I had to bend the pickup tube a tiny bit to fit, but I was able to do that by hand. I only lost about a half quart of capacity, but I gained 3 inches of ride height clearance. The next issue was the driver's side header. I had to cut about an inch out of one of the tubes and rebend it and weld it back together...that was a little more work, and I still have a slight exhaust leak there as I was unable to weld all the way around the tube. Now my frame hits the ubolts that hold the springs on when I hit big bumps. Here's a poor pic of the pan...If you look closely you can see the shortened header tube as well. The splice is where the paint didn't stick to the coupler peice I welded in.

Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
SUMMIT RACING CATALOG HAS THEM IN THE MOPAR PERFORMANCE SECTION FOR ABOUT 89.00 WITH PICK UP TUBE.
Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
They dont offer any front sump kits in summit. Because the truck has a spring under set up, the axle and steering is completely in the way of the oil pan. I guess I'll just swap in a 340 since I can use the poly's oil pan on that.

Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
I agree with Red. Keep the poly. Buy a set of headers from Norm and put a 4 barrel on it.

Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
I wonder who owns it
Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
Well, how did he do the oil pan in his 70? I am thinking about keeping the poly, but I already have a couple of la engines built. If I do keep the poly, I'd want to build it with higher compression and a better cam. Do you know where I can obtain poly performance parts? Thanks, Joe

Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
I told you how I did the oil pan on mine! It's a 71 not a 70, but that's the one that has the modified pan. You can get within a half an inch of how low mine sits without modifying the header tube. If you want to be just an inch and a half higher, you can just gently dent the pan to clear the centerlink.

Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
Hey, I guess I will try to modify my oil pan, but what do you guys think of the Milodon truck pan number 30985 as seen at Jegs http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s ... 2_80196_-1 and Summit http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... 4294908110 It looks kike it has been shortened enough to fit my steering, and the depth isnt low enough to interfere with ground clearance.
Thanks, Joe

Re: Oil Pan for 360 Swap
It looks to me like it is exactly the same as the rear sump stock pan that I started with. If it wasn't under 6 inches of snow, I would go out and measure the exact length of the sump on the one I shortened. I'll look to see if I have any other pics of it.

Digging up an old thread...
I just posed the exact same question. Poly 318 to LA 360 swap in 69 D100. What pan works? What did you end up with?
