Yuu can also get the identical pan from Armondo's Oil Pans. He's a little cheaper, but you don't get the Aviaid decal on the side.

Doug you're right on the chassis specific issues. I remember the Boss 302 cars getting these crazy looking wide pans with reservoirs sticking out the side but they had plenty of room.
Interesting to then look at dry sump systems that needed to be developed around the late 60's early 70's because the lateral G's were getting so high due to better tire compounds that a wet sump just couldn't keep the pickups covered (CanAm cars that could generate 1 to 1.5 G's in a corner).

I'm betting that Aviad did the R&D, and Armando and Kevko copied the pan.

You need a full road race oil pan. Canton and Moroso do not list one for the Pantera.
Aviaid, Armondo, and Kevko do.
A Mustang pan with side tanks might fit, but I doubt it. That's why there is a Pantera specific pan.
Kevko isn't even showing accurate photos of it, so to me it is a bit of a mystery.
I personally went with the Aviaid. Armondo is $25 less. It is identical to the Aviaid...except for the decal.
The Kevko is over $100 less.
How much is a new engine? Is it more than $100?

Installed an Aviad pan a month or so ago, purchased from Bob Byers, bolted straight on no problems,
to be picky the construction workmanship is a little to be desired all the welds are laped not butt welded, and the plating was only so so. polished up well with some 000 steel wool though.

It depends on your usage. If you never intend to use the car driven hard and just are going to drive it around like you would your 72 Country Squire station wagon then the answer is probably no you don't, but I would at least use the Boss 351 pan with the internal baffling.

Well
I've heard about front or rear oil pickup ?
Does this engine works two ways ?
I'll soon make my decision since Kevco has not replied my mail (rather uncomon for american guys !)
quote:What you may be thinking about is that in the 70's the 302 was being installed into the Mustang II, and in order to do that Ford had to make a duel sump pan, small one in front, bigger one in rear, in order to fit the 302 into that chassis.
quote:I did notice one thing with the Kevko though. The oil scraper is not the full length of the pan. On the Aviaid, it is.

Ford trucks with the Windsor used a rear sump oil pan.

@ PanteraDoug: The car is not for racing purpose, but also not for cruising only, so 1G cornering forces should be possible.
The question is which benefits a big sump has. For cornering only a deeper pan or some baffles make sense, a wider one does not guarantee a better oil supply when cornering from my point of view. On the other hand more oil is good to equalize temperature peaks, but for this i have the oil cooler. So any ideas what the difference really makes?
Thanks
