Budget Oiling System Upgrade SBC...

[Track Junky]

I'm a big fan of the Canton road race pan I have been using. I just had to purchase another one recently and IIRC it was about $350 to my door.

x2 my canton pan never let the pump suck air. Even in long sweeping banks when my stock gas tank would the canton pan with the baffling did its job. you can also run an extra line from the rear of the bock to the front....it helps oil the mains that are farthest from the pump, but that won't help if the pump is suckin air.

i really aiming toward canton pan.....also hows the clearance far as headers,oil filter...etc?...like to have a pan that fits the stock subframe without having to modify....

I dont have any clearance issues other than it being really close to my rack-n-pinion unit. I'm using part #15-250. My guess is you will probably need the same part no. if you are running a small block.

thanks...i emailed canton racing products see what pan they reccomend.....you have their pickup and oil pump also?

[Track Junky]

I have their pan and pickup. I'm running a high pressure high volume Melling pump but that is due to running a remote filter, oil thermostat, oil cooler, all running through -12 sized lines. You wont need a specific pump for the pan and pick up to work. Pumps typically dont dictate what pick up to use as they are all typically in standard location but pans will vary in depth so be sure to purchase the pick up that goes with the pan.

Others may have a difference in opinion but If you are thinking about replacing your pump I like to stick to the rule of thumb thats been around forever which is 10 lbs of oil pressure for every 1000 rpm......so if your spinning to 6500 rpm 65 lbs of pressure at that rpm should be adequate.

Most important part of an oiling system is that the pick up is always submerged in oil and never given the opportunity to suck air.

I sucked a Moroso pan dry at the end of a long straight with a left hand up hill turn once and that incident cost me a rod bearing. I believe that happened due to the pan not having any trap doors to trap the oil beneath the pump/pickup.

looking into the canton pan...with built in windage tray and trap doors....probably end up going with their matching pickup and stick a high volume oil pump in their as well...taking i got a standard oil pump in their now......

few people suggest running at setrab oil cooler as well......
