Default SPF GT40 Oil Pan
Some of the SPF GT40 ads (I think for the MkII) say that the oil pan is furnished by SPF. Can someone explain this? Does the SPF GT require some kind of special oil pan? Thanks.

Thanks Doc and Woodsy. I was curious because I just happen to have one of those SPF GT/Coupe oil pans - thinking about putting it on the Cobra because it is an inch shorter (7 vs 8 inches) than my current pan. And yes, it is very nicely baffled. Swinging doors and secret compartments!
Thanks again.

If it is a GT40 style pan, it's probably made by Aviaid and should be checked for leaks and weld splatter prior to using.

You can also get a GT-40 oil pan from Armando in TX. I just ordered a 289 Cobra "road race" oil pan from him. Should be coming in about two weeks.

Armando used to work for Aviaid. When I get back to the office I can post his web site on this thread. Everyone I've talked to about him and his work has had good things to say.

This is an Armandos GT40 pan. He will configure it any way you want, as far as oil temp bung and dip stick provision. If you are using a late model block, you will need a dip stick bung in the pan, or a front timing cover with the dip stick provision. You will also need to block off the factory dip stick hole in the block. They come fully baffled and with the correct pickup.

Yes, the SPF pan came with a pickup tube and also a dipstick tube. I'll see if I can find some pictures tomorrow.
