Re: PN's
PN for the stock oil pan is 12557557. I don't know the other #'s.
Just to let you know, most people do not run a high-volume oil pump with the stock pan, out of concerns that it may pump the pan dry at high revs. And most say that the HV pump is unneccesary. The common way to do it is run a stock pump with a different spring (not sure of the details).
That being said, I'm running a Melling HV pump in my 383 with the stock pan, and religiously make sure that the oil level is at the full mark. All as per the recommendations of my engine builder, and I've had no trouble.
