canton oil pan question
canton oil pan question i have a canton oil pan and we just tried to put it on yesterday and it wont fit properly. its a 6.0 iron block and the lady at canton said it wouldn't be a problem on this block. i am using a pickup tube from a 98 camaro z28 and the also the windage tray from it. canton's website recommends a gm# 12558251 fbody pickup and a oem windage tray # 12558253 which i assumed was the pickup tube and windage tray i have. the pickup tube hits in 2 spots which are right about main cap #1 where it turns off the oil pump it hits the pan and the actual pickup with the screen hits the bottom of the pan. the screen isnt a problem to fix but i don't want to bend or dent the actual tube at all to make it work. do i even have the right pickup tube?
any help would really be appreciated.
thanks in advance,
David

My canton didn't fit worth **** I had to take the allen head screws out and beat the baffels down. Then I had to use a thiner spacer on my widage tray. and make dimples so the windage tray was not to close to the rods. Then i had to bend the pickup tube closer to the windage tray up front. Either way it fits horrible but i made it work.
I just installed the 15-242 Canton pan on my LT1. The website says "direct bolt in." It didn't come anywhere near close to clearing the stock pickup so I called Canton and they said I would need to buy their pickup for that pan. Direct bolt in....my ***!
Add me to the list...
Canton's customer service is CRAP. The lady that answers the phone is nice but...you never get a call back from the person who supposedly is going to help you out.
They are a good buy but, when a manufacturer won't stand up behind their products they should be rung out!!
I ended up spending more $$ and getting a custom fabbed one.
