oil pans

[RJP]

Try a marine pan. There are two basic types. One is for jet boats and the other is for V-drives. Jet boat application is for engine facing forward [flywheel facing to the rear of boat] and V-drive is for engine facing backward. [flywheel facing forward] For a car/truck application a jet boat would have the proper baffling and pick up. I use 10 qt. full sump Dooley pans [V-drives] but I think Canton and Milodon make marine pans also.

Part of your question was a full sump pan. Not to many cars this would fit into.
This is from a large truck FE. My plan is to use it in a car with a dropped I-beam axle no cross member in the way, the engine has a pretty good setback.

This is the type pan I been using, I have a couple of them. I think a while back Brent Lykens said he had either mad mods to these type pans before or had had one at one time that was modified.. 
Wonder if he would share any secrets ...

Rjp has got it!
The pan for my v drive was fabricated by the legend Louis Unser.
It's one of my favorite parts on my motor & certainly has the most history.
If I can figure this picture thing out I'll post some up.
Hope all is well,
Brian

Thanks, I did see that once a while back. I have two of the full sump truck pans, thinking about making some more to one of them with some trap doors and such, something simple to keep oil from rushing back to the front of the pan on de acceleration , heavy breaking/shoot at the top end. Not really sure what I'm gonna do yet.
