I had a Canton pan on the last two engines.. great pan but with this 4.250 stroke there just wasn't enough pan clearance.

I found the Autocraft pan had more overall clearance so I'm running that but I did have to notch the front of the pan to clear my rack. Very nice pan, heavier than the Canton, but stronger as well.

What I really need to do is draw out a pan and have Canton make me a custom one that will give me maximum clearance and fit in my frame.
