that pan looks about right from seeing ones that do and don't work over the years. decent price as well compared to what folks are often asking for 'original' stuff that will work correctly in a B/RB swap. good find

The #187 oil pan doesn't work on an early A Body Dodge Dart. If you look at the first pic, that is exactly where a modification is needed. I had a #187 pan on my 1964 Dart. I had to modify another oil pan to get the clearance I needed.

Tim's 65 oil pan is right on the money. This is how you properly fabricate an early A-body oil pan to clear the centerlink. Very professional looking. Good job Tim

here ya go for a reference. this is a V8 centerlink for an early abody. see how much it drops. looking at your pics on my desktop instead of my phone it looks like you may have the V8 one.. i'd like to see the motor mounts. when i did my 64 valiant with a 440 init i used an off the shelf chrome transdapt oil pan and it cleared.. i also had th engine sit a hair high so i didn't have to notch the k-frame to clear the oil pump/filter.
hey what headers did you use on that
