Thread: Full length oil pan on the street???

Tweet

Not if you have room for it.... As long as you have the rest of the pieces like the correct pickup, windage tray or screen, etc. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of extra oil that the crank and rods will be beating around in the bottom end........

Without a definitive sump section your pickup will constantly lose oil under turns and stops. If you use one make sure it is a baffled roadracing style pan and not a dragster style. But remember the factory spent $$$$$$$ developing the stock pan to run 1000's of miles without starvation.

Thanks Dave, It should fit in my '32 doesn't seem to be anything in the way down there. It's made by KC, it's a full sump pan w/ 2 trap doors, a windage tray & a crankscraper. The race version holds 10 qt's & the street version holds 8 qt's. The Hot Hemi Heads web site says it 'the best' Hemi pan you can get. I'm ALWAYS a sucker when someone tells me "it's the best"! Thanks again Bill

ps, I'll post the pic & article on it.....
