deep sump oil pan help!

Hi, i bought a 460 that has been rebuilt( 15000 miles) and was in a truck, was told it was a 10 quart pan rear sump, but i think it is an 8 quart pan. It is a moroso looks like aluminum not the gold ones. How can i tell what pan it is 8 or 10?

I wonder if it is needed in my truck or just go back to the stock one? Just a 4x4 not a race truck.

Also it came with a d.u.i distributor don't know much about these , i have heard of them never used one. Are these pretty good for daily use?


The engine is a 71 block bored .040 , was told it has a " rv set up cam pistons" not sure what that means! But i plan to tear it apart and see. Aluminum edelbrock intake performer, truck avenger carb 670 he thinks, had headers but sold em. heads were rebuilt they are 73 castings. Thats about all i know about this engine, I hope it runs and can put it in my truck, but i will check the bearings etc. before i put it in. If not i am not out much.

thanks for any help.

Measure the pan and look on the websites.

8 quarts is typicaly plenty, even in a 10 qt pan.

I have a 8 quart drag pan on my 427 and it likes 7....... at 8 it has eratic oil pressure over 6500 rpm.
