Oil Pan For Dart Shp 302 Block

87ttopstang · Apr 9, 2014

For any of you guys running the Dart SHP, what oil pan are you guys using. Have decided to build a 331 and am using the Dart SHP as the block. I want to run a 7 qt pan and am looking for recommendations from guys who have the same setup. This is for my 87 GT.

Thanks.

Moroso makes a great pan. I'm running the 18511 on my Dart 331. The rear two bolts can be a pain in the @$$ though. Fair warning

Are you running the stock oil pump and pick up or aftermarket? I went to Summit and they state you need to run a Moroso girdle if you run the stock pump. What setup are you running?

I have a Melling High Volume with the Moroso pickup.

I went Moroso on mine as well, also with the moroso pickup. I used a universal dipstick tube, and it was a pain to get to fit. Actually it took a second dipstick tube to get the bends close enough to work, using the first one as a model.

Yeah, I have the same issue with the dipstick tube. Been debating just forking over the money for the Flex Braid version.

I think that would be the same issue with any of the universal tubes with any manufacturer.

The new moroso pans have billet end caps for better sealing. It truely is the best pan on the market at it's price point. I say Moroso FTW

Thanks guys. What pump are you running? I read on the Dart website that a high volume pump is not needed on the new Dart blocks because of the new oiling system.

Is there such a thing as a rear main seal not leaking on a 5.0?? HA HA

Never had a problem with a rear main seal leak.... Not sure what you're getting at?

Just meant that most 5.0's eventually develope a small rain main seal leak. I think the seal on mine dries out from sitting so much.

84Ttop · Apr 11, 2014

I think you mis understood what I'm saying... Rear main seal and Oil pan seal are two totally different things. The billet front and back pan sections add to the pan sealing better on the front and rear of the motor and have no effect on the rear main seal itself.

I went with high volume. Now that it's broke in, at hot idle, it drops down roughly a third of the way.

I have the canton on mine. No complaints here. But I don't have experience with other pans either.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?
