You didn't say anything about what frame you're putting the engine in, but most Cobras use a front sump
oil pan.
I'm using the Canton 9 qt, Road Race pan and pickup. Same depth as stock, but wider. Also using Canton windage tray. Cobras corner so aggressively that positive
oil control, even on the street (Freeway ramps, etc.) is essential for keeping
oil around the pickup.
