Dry sump pan for Dart SVO
I have a Pro Pan aluminium dry sump pan which has seen better days and is almost too big for my application, only run a 5.25" deep pan and this pan has a large kickout which just fits my chassis.
Looking at Aviaid and Armandos pans, on the GT40 some have had main cap issues where they have had to panelbeat the pan and even grind the main caps. I would like another pan that you can screw the fittings in and run the gauze cone style filters to protect the pump instead of inline filters. Kickouts are okay as long as I can fit the normal fasteners to the block! Another issue with the QM starter/lightweight bellhousing was the starter adapter and we had to modify the Pro Pan where I think pans without the full depth kickout would work better. Canton make a nice looking pan but the fittings are right where the chassis rail and engine tube is. Any experience on the Aviaid or Armando dry sump pan for main cap clearance would be appreciated as its a long way out to NZ |
I have a Dailey Engineering pan on my FE and they make a pan for the 351 block. I don't think you would have clearance issues with his pan. It may work for you. Check them out at daileyengineering.com. The pump on these pans scavenge directly off a manifold that is part of the pan...no hoses from the pan to the pump. The website pics of the FE pan are of my car...a nice clean installation. Good Luck

SoTxButler,
Thanks for the information, I already have the Peterson pump on the engine etc. all their pumps seem to be attached to the sumps! |
these people made mine, tell him exactly what you want and he should make it, specify where you want the dash fittings and the pickups and depth. i've heard good and bad but my pan and valve covers turned out workable, had to use some good rtv on the front and rear portions of the oil pan. i had an aviad pan that wouldn't fit--the dart block requires a pan that will clear the rear 4 bolt main, and sent it back, i wasn't going to hammer it. a pan that fits the dart block will fit a production block btw, but not vice versa.
