are they interchangeable?

From what I've read the aluminum and steel pans are not interchangeable. Something different with the bolt holes in the timing cover is what I've read.

I have seen somewhere that the pans ARE interchangeable. The block has holes that fit the steel pan but not the aluminum pan so with the aluminum pan installed it appears the holes are not there.

I just changed oil this weekend (steel pan). It appears that 7.0 qts is on the low side of the dipstick.

I've found 2 versions of the 392 supplement. One said 7.0 qts, the other 7.5.

I wonder if the original aluminum pan held 7.0 qts and the newer steel pan holds 7.5 qts. As I said I put 7.0 qts in (per the supplement) and it still reads a little low. Just an FYI I used the larger filter.

You used the SRT MO-041 filter? I also noticed in both versions of the 392 guide that they simply say they recommend using a Mopar oil filter without giving the part number.

Yes,
I used the MO-041 filter. It fits, but it is tight
