Canton Oil Pans??? So when I bought this 383 the guy threw in a Canton oil pan with the purchase. Only problem is that is it JUST the pan, nothing else.
Do I need to run a different windage tray or pickup tube? If it is going to be too much of a hassle to run this I may just stick with a stock pan.

PS:
You will need the canton p/u for the pump to work properly with this pan.
I do remember (at least awhile ago) Canton's website explaining the different pans for a SBC (maybe 3rd gen?) and the 242t was a bit confusing. I too have the 242t pan and do not have any clearance issues.

Hm....I see where the tray is supposed to bolt, but there is nothing there. Not even bolts. I may just put this thing on ebay, start it at 0.01 and just get rid of it then use the stock pan
Thanks guys.

I pulled out the canton windage tray and screen and put in a moroso windage tray off the main caps and now it holds 70psi to 7k. The moroso tray went back 2-3 inches more all around the sump area compared to the stock canton setup. SOTP says i gained a decent amount of power as well.

Canton has a very good design and I hold atleast 60 PSI as well thru 6500 and it has an integrated crank scraper to shed some weight from the crank. Good design and if you gonna stick with that pan there is really no reason to reinvent the wheel - so to speak.
I'm using the 244t pan which is for a 3rd gen f-body and I removed Canton's windage tray and installed a Milodon Diamond Stripper and a Moroso rear pan baffle between the oil pump and the rear main cap and I have no issues at all. Oh and with the 244t pan I ordered a tubular K with the rack mounts dropped 1/2" to clear the pan or you can shim your motor mounts a 1/2" so the pan won't rub.
