was just down at the place building my motor and a guy brought his V-Drive in with a 331 Hemi in it and said he had metal shavings in the Oil when he changed it after they pulled the motor out of boat at the shop i noticed the oil pan is a Automobile style pan (rear Sump pan) i asked him how long he ran with the pan like that and he said 1 maybe 2 years and was a recently rebuilt motor at that time .... i mentioned to him your motor might last longer with a v-drive pan instead .. was kinda funny there were 2 patched spots on the pan where it could have thrown a rod before (i wonder why) lol anyway Anyone have a used or new Chrysler Hemi 331 Oil pan they want to get rid of?
