John Scott Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 After crawling under Robs ZZ4 and taking a few measurements, I decided I don't need another nightmare of fitting exhaust around a road race pan. Found three more good possibilities this morning, all 7 qt+ with 7-7.5 depth. #s 1086, 1087, 1090. I'm leaning towards the 1090 8qt. Waiting for front pan dimensions. Pan bottom is only 11 inches wide. Really reasonable prices, too. www.kevko.net/page3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Moroso makes a "claimer" pan for roundy pounders. It's only 5 quarts, but has a scraper, baffles and windage tray for less than $150. I have a Moroso 20190 on my Camaro, 7 quarts plus filter, but I only run 5 plus filter for street/strip. One it minimizes windage, and two it gets two oil changes from a case. If I ever autocross, I top it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scott Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 5 qt. pan is not for me. Good windage, scraper, baffling can go a long way, but 7000rpm potential and too many $$ invested. 7-7.5" sump is as low as I can go. This will give about 3" of ground clearance in my Z. Builder really wants 7 quart minumum. I've tried Milodon, Moroso, MWM, Stephs, Champ, Hamburger, ect, ect. Milodon drag pan 31145 is 7.5 rear, 6" front. With stepped front, will probably fit the Z nicely, really expensive. So far Kevko is the most hopeful. JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I believe the 20190 is 7 1/2" deep. I'll double check. It was only $90 when I bought mine, but $125 now I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Im running that Kevco pan, fit very nice in my 79 ZX with 400 s/b the front dimintions are the same as stock. very nice pan for the money,go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scott Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 My catalog lists the Moroso 20190 @ 8". Otherwise it would be a great pan, I ordered my Kevko 8qt. Nice people! The right side kickout is only 3 1/8. Front of pan is 4 3/8. Rear, slightly over 7" Starter won't be an problem. I haven't gotten to the issues of which header I'm using, and how it will fit but this still might be a great option for those looking for high capacity oil pan with stock pan ground clearance.

grumpyvette Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 these guys have good prices http://www.parts123.com/PartFrame.asp?ZTM=cadefjgb&GHOME=www.mi dwestmotorsportsinc.com&TITLE=Midwest_Motorsport put in oil pan in the search box and look around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scott Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 Thanks Grumpy. Appreciate your suggestion. I had a bad experience, lately, with Midwest. Their tech help was extremely rude and didn't want to check their pan dimensions. I tried, but won't do business with them. Some of our applications are requiring a specific pan depth where 1/4 0r 1/2 inch makes a big difference. They wern't willing to share that info. I don't want to play trial and error with my engine parts. JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 There is a new pan in the Summit sale catalog. It is a 7qt pan for road race or roundy-round. It is only 7" deep sump and has no kickout to interfere. It is by Hamburger. Part # HAM-3047h. It is in the new products section of the catalog effective through April 30.

383 240z Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hey john I was wondering If this will help you. I ran into a similar problem of not enough oil capacity, I also could not find a pan big enough at a price small enough. Then I looked at my other car. It has a front mounted oil cooler that is about 2.5" thick 8 inches tall and about 30" wide made of aluminum and has Banjo fittings on the inlet and outlet sides they can be found on all Mazda RX-7's made between 1986-1992 the JY's should have a few of them I got mine for about $25 I hope this helps.

biohzrd Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 i've ran a remote dual oil filter kit before along with a cooler and it would take just shy of 8 quarts to fill completely. plus i found that after 3000 miles the oil would still be clear and unscorched. may help out with your ground clearance issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
