Oil pan for chassis car?
« on: November 12, 2014, 08:32:37 PM »
What oil pan would you guys recommend for a chassis car?  No crossmember at pan area to worry about a front or rear sump.  Who makes a nice pan?  Ground clearance may come into play as the car will be fairly low to the ground.

Thanks!!

I have a Moroso kick out pan with a diamond stripper, it is made out of some tuff steel and fits nice. I like the low profile and addition of extra threaded bosses for plumbing and external dipstick is nice too.mine is a 8 quart front sump which leaves lots of room for a starter and headers, that might be something you might have to think about in a Falcon being a small car???

If I didn't have to contend with a crossmember I'd be looking at using an AC Cobra type pan. No sump, so you can use a rear pick up which would be a much better choice on anything that will pull some Gs. Plus they work well with low vehicles, which the Cobra obviously is. Space may be a consideration though, as Jon said.

Rod, this is what I'm running in my BDR cobra.



Good clearance, lots of capacity and great oil control.  Comes with the windage tray and pickup.

I have looked at that pan. Thanks.
I am leaning towards building one to fit.
