I have a canton fot my 383 turbo car but is there any others out there that are slightly cheaper??? I need one for the 350 nitrous car now...

 

Why not use stock with a better windage tray?

 

Buy a used one. Post in the WANTED section im sure someone out there has one and needs money

 

SS RRR- i would but my stock pan wont clear the melling oil pump i just put in.

 

I was looking at this. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HAM-1098/ The only thing is there is no low oil level bung. I'm not to crazy about red but it should work.

 

ebay $90 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SBC-C...item4cf44ff15c

 

The only thing im going to say abut the summit and ebay pans are that you get what you pay for. If the pan does not seal good its a PITA to remove it in car and reseal or replace what ever is the issue. I bolted my CANTON pan on with my stock rails and dont have one complaint. Ebay LMAO if you buy from there and summit well the last time i bought there brand anything my car would not fire cause the digital ignition box crapped out on me 7 times! MSD never one issue. just an example i had in my experiance

 

Do they just use a stock pan and add the boxed section to it? Thats what it looks like, not sure thats such a bad thing (for the price) just curious if thats what they're doing. Anyone using one of these?

 

x2 on the Ebay pan, but the link to summit I listed is not a "summit" Pan. I have heard good things about the economy series 7qt pan from Hamburger's Performance. Sure its no Canton but the OP wanted something less expensive. I cant say from experience if it is good or not but I am thinking about giving it a shot myself.

 

i haven't tried that pan, i was looking for options too. not sure if you'll have fitment quality.

 

I have a moroso 7 quart pan on my car. I don't remember the part # but its for 86 and up blocks and has the side kickouts. Tucks up slightly above the factory k member, and now with my UMI k member its slightly lower than the lower bar. Check out my build thread to see some pics of the pan

 

How do you think canton and the other big names make their pans?

 

What I have, fits well.

 

^^^ Never really looked into them, that makes sense though.

 

I'm confused. I didn't think Canton's pans were any deeper than stock? Besides, at least Canton's 242t pan is a 6qt IIRC.

 

kevko oil pans makes one that works well.

 

question about the ebay one... is it lower by any chance? i need to make sure i don't have anything that hangs lower than it does..

 

I looked at the Hamburger pans, not to bad but the last one i saw installed had a HUGE gap between the pan and bottom of the timing cover.

I dont feel like having to do a pan with the engine in the car, did that once already and it sucked.

 

It's that bad? I figured it'd be ok..

 

huh?? what melling pump u running?? i ran a melling m55hv for a while on a stock pan with no problem........and i ran it with my canton 242t as well just had to change the pickup..........



also yes the canton is a stock depth just with kickouts......and it is a 6qt pan not 7
