Oiling system question??? Need advice!!


Recommended Posts

Would this be acceptable for an oil system? I am worred about running dry at high RPMs.

 

-Stock size five qt oil pan

-dual remote oil filters

-remote oil cooler

 

I figure that this should make for at least a 7qt system. I currently have a 7qt oil pan that I dont think I will be able to use. I bought it from Ebay and it doesnt line up with the rear main seal very well.

thats $39-$60 for a good basic oil pan that holds 7-8 qts, I modifyed the 8qt pan to hold 9.5qts on my vette with an extended sump kit (wider not deeper) they also sell, I extended the sump 6" forward and cut the forward lower corner at an angle and re welded it to get (K) frame clearance the result was a 7.5" deep 9.5qt oil pan for just over $100 includeing the kit and welding costs, I also added a MILODON windage screen that necessary to control oil return flow

don,t get cheap on your oil system or the connecting rods,its what keeps that engine together when you abuse it
