Oil pan recommendations
Im starting to collect parts for my stroker motor and I'm looking for opinions on oil pans. There motor is going to be going into a street/strip car that could see some higher RPMs. My builder said i would be fine with the Canton 15-400 but I've noticed a lot of people are running the canton road race 15-444. Just looking for opinions on which would be a better option for a car that'll see both the street and strip.

Be sure when you are evaluating the Canton products their listing is for "system capacity". For example the 15-450 is listed as '6 quart system capacity', by that they mean 5 quarts in the pan and 1 quart in the engine including filter. Most popular filters do not hold one quart.

The 15-400 is a nice pan with a single kick out on the drivers side.Clears everything well on a 1980 firebird and doesn't hang down too low.You will need a mini starter its tight.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
