1970 Charger . I don't want the pan below the frame.

The 6 quart pan does hang below the K member. That is why the 440 and Hemi cars got skid plates in 1970.

Do you know if anybody sells them or do I need to fabricate one?

I  made my own. Stock appearance did not matter, I just made what I wanted.

The Milodon "road race" pan #31580 is a real nice 7-quart pan, but not cheap at around $450-500.

Yea, I used that on my 73. Only option to increase the oil capacity without going to a pan that 7 inches plus of depth. The '70 has more options.

IIRC the factory deeper pan is about 1 inch lower if you compare the two pans side-by-side.  It's more like 1/2" lower than the regular K-frame in practice because the regular oil pans sit 1/2" above the regular K-frame.  


Also, the factory only used 15" wheels with deeper pans, and they put small spacers under the front bumpstops on the LCAs.  They were limiting how low the chassis could get when it bottomed-out.

My 71 R/T came with 14" wheels and the 6qt pan with the factory skid plate K member.
