Porsche, Ferrari, Lancia, SAAB, Lotus, Mc laren, Acura, every 175 mph motorcycle, Michael Strunk and the Space Shuttle all use aluminum
oil pans.. Ok I made the part up about the space shuttle..
Look.. I drive a car made of spun glass glued together and bolted to a way too short chassis, pushed by a way too big engine.. Do you really think I am most worried about the
oil pan getting torn off? I'm thinking a roll bar would keep my head from getting torn off too, but then where would the excitement be in that...
Besides.. I think you know how cool it looks and now you want one.. Ok.. Truth be told I have always wanted that pan.. Now I have it..
By the by hot pressure at idle after racing past Turks house was 50-55 psi and at 3500 was 63-68.. Still not much variance but 30-50% better
oil pressure/flow.. Capacity is 10 quarts total.. including twin filters.
(photo's are now up of the pan installation 4/29)
