HAS ANYONE USED A CANTON PART #16-780 OIL PAN ON A SECOND GENERATION LIGHTNING.

 

Yes I use one.Stan

 

I have a canton pan and windage tray on my truck. I'm pretty sure it is the cobra R pan. Not sure what part # it is.

 

i am having a interference problem with the cross member on the passenger side. the pan hits and the pan also hits the brake line. motor will not tilt to the right angle because of the crossmember.

 

It is from the Cobra R. Part # 17-780.





But kj is talking about the Canton drag race pan (part #16-780):

 

RUSLOW WAS THAT A 16-780 PAN OR ANOTHER STYLE

 

16-780 was the model # Canton factory gave me. No install yet.

 

Don't you have to more-or-less remove the motor to change the pan out?

 

For the 16-780, remove or lift awfully high.

 

Could you put a 17-780 in with out unbolting the motor?

 

Stan has the road race pan (17 series)

 

PLease explain for a newbie! What are the pros/cons of the canton pan? Whats the price and where can I find them??

Couple pro's, #1 Looks imposing if the other guy can see it... higher oil capacity means cooler oil/longer theoretical distance bewteen refills/carrying oil lower and a windage tray keep oil from splashing crank and reducing losses.

Con: Price, did I mention price?

 

One other con: Hangs down lower and is more prone to damage.

 

Mine is the road race style.Sorry thought that was the number for it.Since it has been on for almost 2 years I forgot the number.
But I would think the drag style pan would be easy to install and the fit should be good to.Since they use a stock pan and cut the sump off and weld their lowers onto it.I have not fit problems but I Also have my motor moved back and down 1 inch.
Just looked at their site and the pan is a 15-784 with the windage tray system.here is a link to it.
