Re: [Chrysler300] 383 Build for a '62 Sport

Pan number for 62 and 69 is same number probably means it's the same pan for a B body car, as B body cars came out in 62. Your 300 is a C body. I have a 69 Road Runner(B body) and the pan on it is different than a 62 C Body, the sump on the pan is not at the same place in 69 B body vs 62 C body oil pans, 69 pan will hit the frame or steering linkage or both on the 62 car if I remember right...so you should try the block with pan on it in the car before going any further to see if it fits. Turn steering wheel all the way to the right/left to make sure there is clearance, drag link might hit pan when turning steering ...

Need some advice on this 383 Engine Build.

I seem to be having trouble with the fit on the Oil Pump Pickup Screen OR the Oil Pan OR Both.

The facts are these....

Block is a 383 from 1969; though going to be planted into a 1962 300 Sport
Oil Pan = Newly ordered from Rock Auto; part number Pioneer 501173 (Same for 1962 & 1969)
Oil Pump Pickup Screen - Newly ordered from Rock Auto: part number Sealed Power 22415055 (Listed for 1969; though no listing for 1962)

That Oil Pump Pickup Screen seemed to be too long once installed, as the Oil Pan would not rest on the block. I returned it and then ordered...

Oil Pump Pickup Screen - Autozone: part number Melling 63-S2

That one ALSO seems to be too long to let the Oil Pan rest on the block

So my questions are:

Does anyone know if there is another Oil Pump Pickup Screen part number I should be ordering from somewhere?

It would need to be shorter in overall length OR
Maybe it is a screen with a bend in it? The two I have already tried are straight pipes with the round screen on the ends

Does anyone know if the Oil Pan I ordered might be incorrect? It looks, smells, feels like the correct pan for the motor. All bolt holes line up. The Oil Dipstick notch is in the right place. It does have a "shelf" inside of the pan; though the Pickup Screen goes beyond that and hits the bottom of the Pan
Does anyone know if I use this pan, with its "shelf" inside....if that negates the need for a windage tray?

Never used a windage tray, though ordered one for this build

Thank you very much for your time.

Matt Allyn
