So I overlooked my oil pan on me new stroker build. Got it all together, got it running, and heard a light tick from the bottom of the motor. Diagnosed it as the crank barely clipping the edges of the oil pan...I forgot to get a pan that was clearanced for a stroker motor.

SO, what pan is the best for this? Moroso, Canton? What else do I need with it? Pickup Tube?

Anyone have these for sale cheap? lol

Your stocker is now marked where you need to tap on it with a hammer...................

You can beat a stock pan out easily for 3.75" stroke. I really wouldn't get a Canton, I have one and don't like it at all. However if you do some heavy braking in a stock pan you'll starve the engine of oil if you don't have a accumulator.

My ******* canton is the worst fitting over priced piece of **** I have ever owned. How do you manage to **** a SBC pan is beyond me.

Quality seems to be very hit-or-miss with the Canton so I can't really recommend it either...Mine fits perfect and clears my 383, but a bunch of people have had issues with it. I don't know if some get warped during welding or what, but its definitely rolling the dice.

To make it worse, there are a couple revisions floating around.

My canton is perfect. Just sealed it up again for the turbo build.

The corners are garbage, had to beat the junk around the rail to use my oil cooler. I have a Stef's on order right now for a drag car, but their customer service has been pretty lukewarm. I had to call three times to get them off their *** to take my money, very little communication on their end.

Well I've heard great things from a few local people about the milodon pan.So I got pn#30909 along with there hd pickup pn#18316 for about $350.Fit was great but can't tell you about seal yet as motor is going on dyno Thursday.Now this pan doesn't have provision for oil level sensor FYI.Fits up to a 4inch stroke.

Moroso fits perfect on mine, stock oil level sensor fits with Hooker long tubes.

Take a look at Moroso LT1 oil pan part#20185.

Milodon #30909 will clear a 4" stroke crank, and holds an extra quart of oil. Has a nice deep sump that angles out and still offers good ground clearance. Has a built in windage tray. Fits like a glove too.

You will probably need a new oil pump pickup to extend that far though. The pan is a little deeper. This one will work:

That's the pan I run and I have zero issues. Not a single leak. If you need the oil level sensor to tell you to add oil, you're already doing significant damage, lol.

as Caprice said you now have what you would have found out if you rotated the motor by hand with the pan on. Typical # 2 rod bolt scraped bottom of pan..but all motors are slightly diffrent

you can buy an aftermarket pan but I run the stock one. I encourage you to run the stock windage tray. use either the 3 extended stock main studs or but the Miloden ones. You simply put 1/8" washers between the stock ones and the tray to space the windage tray for learance if using stock ones

as far as clearanceing the stock pan, for me, I just set the pan on a folded towel on my bench and with the big end of a wood baseball bat "pushed" from the inside where the witness mark was left by, in my case, # 2 rod bolt. Took 2 min at most and a few taps on the end of the bat to push the pan out slightly

Bought my Canton in the mid 2000's and it fit perfectly. If you are planning on using another pan, make sure it will fit with the stock k-member.
Not true.
