Just so you guys Know a Moroso Billet oil pump does NOT work with a Canton 242t pan. So I either need a new pan or oil pump.
What do you think I should Do? Cant ship either back since I clearanced the pan for the billet main caps and the pump for the main studs. Either way looks like a few hundo down the drain until I sell one or the other.

How does it not work?

The pump is to deep for the pan. Something I wasnt told before I ordered and modded both

Nope The pump and pick up is basically a solid unit and the pan just isnt deep enough. No where in the directions or description says that online. The box of the pump has a sticker on it saying it needs a 8.25 inch deep pan which I didnt see until it was to late. SO I need a 8.25 inch deep pan or a new pump. God damn pan was 320ish and the pump was 350 +shipping. I cant find a pan with the low oil sensor that will work either.

This is the pump and theres no way to adjust the pick up

Guess its my fault for not calling Moroso but it should say that **** somewhere IMO.

why not just extend the sump to the proper depth?

So cut out the bottom of the pan is what your sayin?

A cheaper pan is from KEVKO he will weld in the level sensors, and Im sure he will adjust the depth for you for little to no cost, hell he might even modify your pan.

I know I had him install a windage tray and crank scrapers into a stock pan and it was like $50.00. Great guy and easy to work with.

yup. cut the bottom out then make a new extended bottom panel. it will take some time to get it to fit right but its doable.

Ya I dunno everything is built into the 242t pan. Not sure how anyone could make it deeper cheaply

BIGCAT7274

all you need to modify is the square section. cut it across the back and sides. bend the front of the panel down so its sloped then flatten it out and make a filler panel.

this, or use a BFH like you would with header primaries... honestly, take a breath it can be fixed... just need some creative thinking and patience.


nice thread title by the way, really gets the point across.

The problem with making it deeper is that part of the pan will sit lower than the crossmember, thus if you hit anything in the road you risk ripping open the pan/breaking off the oil pump.

The design from the factory is that the crossmember is the lowest point. As long as nothing else sits lower you are good.

Of course others don't listen and do just that, and in a drag racing only app you may get away with it, but on a street car, it is just stupid to do so.

Its a street driven car.

****.. With a tubular k-member even the stock pan sits lower ... Just gotta start avoiding the dogs and cats or build a skid plate and aim for em'.. I say build a lower bottom

If it were me I would just have someone lower the sump of the pan 3/4" and be done with it.

Hey:

Well, since its a street driven car the only real option is dump the pump.

If it was a drag only car mod the pan is the solution. It is not that hard to do to get it right, just take it to somebody you trust or send to KEVKO after you talk to him on the phone and get a firm price on the extra cost.

Good luck on whatever you decide.

Personally, I'd have the pan modded. Even being street driven, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you're really concerned, make a skid plate for the K-Member. Don't go dumping either of them, just think outside the box.....
