Need a better designed oil pan

[8litercobra]

I looked at every pan I could find for my new dart aluminum windsor, looking for a shallow pan. Kevco F506 was the best I could find. 7" depth....everything else was 7.5" or more at that time. It's a full depth pan front to back, holds 9 qts.

Decent looking pan. Kevko website shows this:

Pan Depth: 7”
Pan Capacity: 10-11 Quarts (9.5-10.4 Liters)
System Capacity: 11-12 Quarts (10.4-11.4Liters)

That's a much different capacity than you indicated - though 9 quarts is still lots.

In my case I needed a pan that would reflect the angle the engine was installed. In order to have the bottom of the pan parallel to (and above) the frame rails, it was built with the front of the pan 1 5/8" deeper than the rear. A box pan as shown on the Kevko website wouldn't deal with that.

I paid $520 for the pan, including pickup, so that's not a lot more for a pan custom built to meet my requirements.

I'm surprised that anyone has had problems with their Canton. Some areas of the welding aren't pretty like I weld, but it's not bad enough to leak or separate. I once had a Moroso that sucked. I have all the parts that Canton has for the FE, the working and quality are wonderful.

To the OP, if you drive spirited like I do, have extra oil to cool is nice, but I also have a oil cooler when needed.
