FFR 3407 build here. My donor 302 oil pan is pretty beat up so I was going to replace it. As the Mustang double sump design is not required in the FFR I would prefer a more fit for function solution than the stock pan. It appears that anything deeper than 7.75 inches will hang below the frame rails (unacceptable), but all the aftermarket pans seem to be 8 inches and up.

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Mark

Mark,
I have got a 7 qt. Canton pan that I purchased through Forte's Patrs. The pan DOES NOT sit below the frame tubes. Mike Forte's is a grest person to deal with, he can set you up for whatever application you may need.

Thanks,
Scott E.

Gordon Levy has a custom pan made just for our FFR's it hold 8qts and it has its own dip stick and built in windage tray and does not hang bellow the frame rails. A good looking piece as well, I have heard some sad stories about Canton's QC.

There's a picture of Gordon's pan installed on a 302 in the "visit with gordon levy" article on the front page of FFCars.

I have one on my engine (that's it in the pics), it appears to be a quality item, well made.

Gordon Levy's pan!!!

I bought a Canton pan for my 351, and was very disappointed in the quality. AND, it didn't even fit.

Another nice thing about Gordon's pan (at least on my 351) is that the dipstick comes up on the passenger side of the engine near the #2 & #3 cylinder (?) The stock pan has it on the driver's side and it is pretty hard to get to and the canton pan is on the pasenger side near the front

I recommend the Canton front sump road race pan. about 350.00.

I figured the leading supplier of road race pans probably know what they are doing.

Im plenty happy with the quality, and thats the pan most of the spec racers on the west coast are running.
