you guys need to start comparing apples to apples.
The Canton road race pan is a front sump pan designed to work in stock chassis (with a crossmember and steering linkage) Fords like Mustangs and Fairlanes. It is a good pan but was designed around the space limitations of a stock Ford chassis.
It will work in a Cobra chassis, but why not take advantange of the wide open room in a Cobra chassis for a properly designed
oil pan. The Aviad/Armando pan is a mid sump, fully trap doored and baffled and specifically designed for a Cobra chassis and offers the most ground clearance and the largest oil capacity. It is perfectly designed for road racing or hot street driving. As uncle George from Nebraska stated, it has the dipstick, puke tank, oil temp, and drain plugs in the right place for a Cobra, except a Superformance. You can order a pan from Armando or Aviad that has the drain plug and oil temp sender plug moved to the sides or rear to clear the sway bar on a SPF chassis, or you can space the sway bar down 1" for everything to clear.
The Aviad/Armando pan also includes the modified windage tray and oil pump pick-up. The Canton pan requires you purchase the pick-up and windage tray separately.
When you add up the prices, I think the Canton pan, pick-up and windage tray actually costs MORE than the Armando pan.
I've used ALL the different pans in question, and I think the Armandos pan is the best value for the money.
The coolest Cobra pan is the Jeff Johnson Billet Fabrications all aluminum Cobra pan. It looks just like a Aviad but with a billet aluminum pan rail. I have one and can post photos if anyone is interested.
