73 charger mild 440 build with 7 qt. pan.   Sticks 1.5 in. below k frame and has hit ground three times.

is there a higher capacity pan that does not extend below k frame?

If I go back to a stock pan will an oil cooler add 1-2 qts. to total oil capacity?

recommendations?

Not sure if the hemi 6qt reproduction pan fits a 73 chassis but if it does that would be a good option. It does not hang below the k frame so the ground clearance is excellent.  :2thumbs:

I bought the 6 qt. hemi pan from Mancini at the Nationals . Won't fit . It looks like 73 b-body has a larger cross section k frame.

Thought about enlarging stock pan. Looks like there would be room toward the rear or sides.
