Reply to "Kevko Oil Pan big enough ?"

$437.80, for the Aviaid.

$439.00 for the Armondo.

Kevko $325.

The Kevko has a different trap door system and is missing the scrapers. The scrapers stop the crank from spinning in the oil and running up the inside of block.

Every engine application is different in design with them.


I have a Canton on my GT350. It is the road race T pan and holds 10 quarts in pan. With the oil cooler and oil lines holds 12 quarts.

There is a cheaper "street" version of it. $100 cheaper that holds less oil and is minus the scrappers.

Those you can't run hard. That's why they are street versions and are notorious for blown engines on the track.

I had the Aviaid side by side with my Canton RR pan.
They match up feature for feature but the Canton is finished cosmetically much better.

That one was about $50 cheaper than the Aviaid.


You need to know what you are doing with these things or else you are just going to wind up hurting yourself.

Go with the PROVEN design. In this case the Aviaid/Armondo pan.

You can easily go over 1.1g in these cars. If you do with the wrong pan you are going to run dry.


In my mind it also depends on the heads. Some are going to need help in getting the oil back down into the pan.

Clevelands can run with as much as 2" of oil up in the valve covers.
We can create our own monsters here.


For the sake of discussion, you can go with a Moroso pan. Their experience is in drag racing pans.

YOU have to tell them what to do with the pan otherwise it is just a big bucket.

I personally wouldn't presume to tell them how to build it.
