ok back...it's a Canton Road Race oilpan PN#15242T. This one cleared the BMR Kmember, KOOKS headers, stock pickup worked fine. Only thing I couldn't use with this pan was the low level oil sensor due to where the KOOKS primary came down.

we used a hex bolt plug and still had to shave half of the hex head off to leave about 1/8" clearance between the header and hex. If I did it again I'd weld shut that hold completely, or if I ever drop the pan for whatever reason, or take off the headers I'll do the same.

I would not use the stock pickup IMO. I use the canton 6 quart pan and was able to use my low oil sending unit, but I have Hooker Long tubes.
Brett do you run 7 quarts in the pan or 6?
I do have the #15-242t(same as yours) pan with a melling high volume pump. I have run 6 quarts for a while now without a problem, extra quart probally cant hurt.

yea I was not about to use the stock drive rod with the PLASTIC conector. When I took my motor apart my dad and I saw that and were like WTF. Yea figure with the filter and all you could probaly run 7 without a problem.
I saw on cantons website the company CW oil filters, where you would just buy the filter element and reuse the metal canister. Anyone use one?
