Reply to "Racing Oil Pans (from another thread)"

Trying to save a few dollars on a pan may risk a lot of dollars on a blown engine.

It is best to stay with a design that has been proven in competition to work.

I have noticed that other manufacturers have copied what Aviaid has done as far as the trap doors, the oil scraper and the windage tray.

Just having more oil in the pan doesn't necessarily solve the problem.

It has to stay in the right place to be picked up by the pump.

Life expectancy of an engine at 7000 rpm without oil pressure is in micro seconds.

You simply cannot criticize the Aviaid design. It works. Proceed at your own risk.

I have the Aviaid on my Pantera but went with a Canton road race pan on my 68 GT350 simply because it is identical to the Aviaid "Trans-Am" pan, and it was 1/2 the price.

Canton was smart enough to copy the Aviaid, and their workmanship is impeccable.

It is a proven design also, just not theirs.
