Anyone here have one they can measure real quick?
Looking for a more capable pan when I do my 402 swap. Currently I run a stock f-body pan and need to know the dimensions list (A & B).
Most pans are too thick at the front and won't clear my rack, but I found two pans that might work.

The first would be great but I'm worried about the 11" length of the pan. I need the corresponding length of the factory pan.
The other one might work too, but I prefer the first one.

Anyone have one they can measure real quick? I cant under mine to get a good reading and my floor jack decided to die an untimely death.
Thanks!

Thanks again.

Steve, I have a Autocraft pan sitting here if you need anything from it.

What do you think of this pan? It has a 1" shorter but 1" deeper sump than the F body pan. It is also notched on each side wich allowed extra tie rod end clearance on my car.

On my car that won't work. My f-body pan clears my rack by an eighth of an inch or so. That's why I couldn't use the LS2 vette pan.
But that's my set-up. That pan you posted might work great on your car.

Steve,
Have you checked with milodon? I think they make a slim oil pan. Also, have you looked into having one made? Do you know the measurements you need? It's slow at work...so I can check this out for you.
Will Penny be at the car show tomorrow?

The front is 1.75-inch.. which is too thick. Everyone says "it will work" but the numbers don't lie. :)
Even the ATS pan, which I really like, is too thich on the front edge.
I will be there

This might be in the same boat as ATS, but the design is pretty good. I like the oil line placements.

Nice, but I can tell from the pictures that the front is too thick.
I need to figure where I'm going to mount my filter. Sort of nice that this Canton pan uses the factory pick-up tube and windage tray.

I'm go to try to post pics to this forum but since we are new to the forum I'm not 100% sure that it will work.
