PML designed this rear sump engine oil pan for 1957 to 1966 364, 401 and 425 Nailhead engines.
Benefits:
- Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction
- Finned for a classic look
- Thick walls for strength
- Machined flat gasket flange will not tweak or deform for secure seal
- Extra capacity assist with heat dissipation
- Drain hole on side and magnetic drain plug included
The 264 and 322 engines cannot accommodate this pan. If you have a center sump oil pan, you will need to change the pick up. Please see Centerville Auto Repair for an oil pump kit that will allow center sumps to use a rear sump pan. Centerville Auto Repair offers many Nailhead parts, including PML products.

Installation of this oil pan on a 1965 401 Engine:
Includes Bolts and Plug
Mounting bolts and a magnetic drain plug are included. The drain plug magnet attracts any tiny bits of metal out of the fluid to help keep the vehicle running smoothly. The drain plug has a copper sealing washer.
Natural As Cast Finish
PML makes sand castings. This pan is in the natural cast finish. This finish is a dull, silvery gray color and has a rough texture of sand. Some customers have the oil pan painted or powder coated with a custom color at a local shop. Note that once painted or powder coated the texture will still be noticeable, like an orange peel look and feel. Read about finishes and construction of PML parts.
