Stock = Ford pan crudely modified by Cobra engine installers to include a temperature sensor.
Common Option = cast aluminum
oil pan to match cast aluminum valve covers, listed as the "big pan" frequently on new car documents.
Race Option = SA race shop modified stock pans with larger sump, 'scrapers', and box around the
oil pickups, very early ones painted black but most were cadmium plated (the modification set also included a fully braced and safety wired oil pump and pick up assembly)
