Calling all corner carvers!

My pan came today, about 26 hours after I ordered it. Looks fine to me. I agree the welds leave a little to be desired, but it’s an oil pan that mostly won’t ever get seen. For the cost savings, I’m happy. This engine is supposed to last me a few years until my 340 is built. That engine will be a full on race build with high end components, high RPM, and more importantly a dry sump oil system. Now I’m just trying to get this car driving for the summer so I can dial it in.

We used pans from everyone on Tim's Valiant. None of them really work that well if the car is cornering hard, need an accumulator. Might as well plumb one in now before the car is finished since otherwise you'll be doing it later when it is more work. There just isn't enough room between the headers and the K frame to build an oil pan that works.
