John Scott Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Not the one for frying, but the 7" rear sump 7 qt w/windage and scraper for sbc. After getting BLKMGK to lie on his belly like a reptile on a cold garage floor (thanks Jim) for ground clearance measurements, I've concluded anything lower than 7 inch sump is going to be too low. I don't want to change springs/ wheels tires yet. I want to have a good oil supply and control, so I don't think the stock pans will cut it. Don't want the expense of a roundy round Canton. The Hamburger looks deeper in front than a stock pan. Don't know how close the front of the pan comes to the crossmember in the JTR position. If it clears, it might be one to consider.

grumpyvette Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 look here. http://www.midwestmotorsportsinc.com/mms.nsf/pages/Specials MWMS Claimer Pan Combo Includes: Claimer Pan (left hand dipstick only) High Volume Oil Pump High Volume Oil Pump Pick Up $79.99 (they also have models for right hand dipstick for $20 more) or here http://www.parts123.com/PartFrame.asp?ZTM=cadefjgb&GHOME=www.mi dwestmotorsportsinc.com&TITLE=Midwest_Motorsport you can get a very good 7-8qt pan for under $90-$126 and most are 7" or 7.25" deep to sit low in stock cars, I bought one, added a extended sump with trap door gates for extra oil control for 9.5 qt pan only 7" deep for my vette and it fits fine with headers ETC.

John Scott Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 Thanks for the additional info, Grumpy. I'm not a welder and fabrication is expensive around here, so a bolt in is preferred. I thought the Hamburger might be OK since it included directional windage, scraper,trap door baffling, and notched side rails for stroker cranks. Price is $199 at summit. I'll look into the claimer pans mentioned as well. JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scott Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 Looked into the pans mentioned by Grumpyvette. Midwest tech help is lame, insolent, unwilling to give information. E-mail recommended phone call. Said he didn't have time to measure his oil pan. Said point blank he wasn't interested in making a sale. Wouldn't recommend.
