| RE: going to larger capacity oil pan |

| Hi. I just switched from a 6.5 qt cast aluminum Tony D. Branda Cobra oil pan to an Aviaid 427 Cobra Oil pan....well...er... I am in the process of switching. I just recieved the Aviaid pan from the courier yesterday. It was very expensive, but did consist of 4 parts....the pan, a screened and louvered windage tray, a special pick-up and another internal baffle. The pan is only 6 inches deep and has a center "box" where the pick-up goes that has 4 "one-way" doors so that oil is always fed to the pick-up, but difficult to escape from the box. With cold oil, the 6.5 qt pan could suck the sump dry as the oil in an FE returns slowly when cold (even at an idle). This was particulalry true with the HP/HV oil pump, but not as bad with the HV only pump. I think the cast Al. pan might make a good flower pot,...or maybe an ashtray. |
