Stock vs Canton Pan
I have a problem with oil pressure dropping like a rock when going thru the gears. My Canton is front sump and I feel that the oil is moving to the rear away from the pick-up when I accelerate hard and that's causing oil starvation. The stock Ford pan has a rear sump and I'm hoping the pick-up stays covered during the hard acceleration. If that does not cure my problem, I will do the Accusump install which I should do in any case. I never found out which Melling hi-volume pump I have, but during the pan swap, I will get a model #, call RDI, and find out what they sent me. I will let CC know the outcome.

John,
I'd keep the Canton pan on and do the Accusump, assuming you've got a baffled road-racing type Canton pan. The Ford pan will provide little oil starvation protection during severe cornering. Good luck, TT |
The Ford 302 has the oil pump in the front of the engine, and using a front sump pan means you have a shorter distance from the pickup to the pump. The CANTON road race pan should come with a new pickup designed to work with the front sump setup and has baffles to keep the oil in the sump area. The RR pan takes 9 qts of oil, you will have to re-calibrate your dip stick just to be sure. The only other thing to check is to be sure the pump isn't sucking air from above the oil level. Let us know how you make out...............MH
