Aside from slight dimensional differences and dipstick on the opposite side, the crank scraper on the Canton pan appears to be the primary difference. Not sure how important that is. I'm leaning toward the Moroso pan for the difference in cost and many reviews on the Canton pans leaking like I have.

I have a Smedling Performance 418w stroker built in 2004 when they were still in CA. Now their in Born, TX and still building very high quality engines. Have not had one issue with the engine. Has about 5500 miles now. I don't race it however, sometimes my foot gets VERY heavy.
