Guest Anonymous Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Looking for a road racing oil pan for my viper blue hybrid 1971 240Z. I am sure some of you guru Z guys saw it for sale on the net last year out of fla. A good rust free Z, it just needed everything gone through as usual. The motor is a 327 Chevy with a 97'Camaro T-56 six spd transmission. This is a car for the street mainly and some very mild track laps after I get it dialed in. The engine has the long tube style Hooker Super Comp headers typical for the V8 swap with the removable tube on the driver side to ease the instalation I would imagine. Where can I get a REAL road race oil pan that will fit between these headers and keep oil on the pump pickup during hard cornering & braking?? Would I have to have one custom made? If so, who would be the right people to go to? Wet sump? Dry Sump? I know from researching this so far some of these oil pans actually work properly and some just look pretty. Any help or ideas on this would be just great!! scumpump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 http://www.tdperformance.com/TDperfrm.html Hamburger oil pans. They show claimer or roundy pounder, but one of the 7" deep pans with baffles, scrapers, and trap doors was shown as road race in the Summit catalog. They are not kickout so will work with just about any header and the 7" depth should provide plenty of ground clearance. Check your SUmmit catalog or give them a call as T&D says more info available in full line catalog concerning restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 It's pricey, but the nicest road race pan I've seen is from Canton. It's nearly $370 with the pickup included. It's 7" deep, and 13-3/4" wide at the bottom. Don't know if that's a header clearance issue for you or not, not hard to mock up with some cardboard. http://www.cantonracingproducts.com/pans/road_race/sbc_road_race.html Grumpyvette has a much cheaper roundy-round (lefthander) pan that he likes.

Zfreak Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I have the 7qt, 7in depth Hambuger pan from Summit and it definitly has kick outs on both sides. 2.5in exhaust fits with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I've got the Canton Roundy ROund version that is 7 inches and pretty wide...'Course it isn't on the motor and in the car yet... I'm taking it to the builder, along with rods and pistons, cam and chain for a full build up of the shortblock... Course I still have to order the crank and flywheel...
