I have been looking at some oil pans recently. Out side of the current offerings, I spoke with a rep at Canton and also one at Moroso. Both companies seemed willing to make a custom oil pan. They would build them to your specifications, just in case anyone is interested.
Oil pans are old news. You just need to catch up on your reading. Everything you are asking for is now off of the shelf.
There is only one thing I can think of that as far as I know has never appeared in anything but a Chevy version of a pan? That's a 'swing' pick-up.
Canton is right in there with the others as far as the technology goes.
Moroso has circle track pans for Chebies but nothing for Fords besides big open drag race pan.
I have a Canton and an Aviaid. The Canton makes the Aviaid look like a high school shop class project by comparison.
They won't even spring for a nice plating on it?
...and of course the Pantera pan is off all by itself because of the chassis rail configuration but don't worry, the pan builders already figured that out too?
The reason why I posted this was because of some of the reading I had done. Fitment issues with some of the current offerings and also the quality that was mentioned in the Aviaid pan versus the Canton pan. On an
other Cleveland site one of the engine builders stated that he found the Moroso pans to be very well made and uses them a lot for his engine builds. Again Kevko offers 8 qts, Aviaid offers 7 qts. I did not look into the Armondo pans. Pantera Performance offers a 10 qt. which I ended up purchasing.
