The Mast pan is a really good one, but it you plan on doing a lot of road course events, I would go with the Autocraft Pan. It has much better baffling and is a proven unit in road course applications.

I only do autocross for the most part and have had zero issue. I also talked with Stacey Tucker at DSE about the Mast pan and she never had a problem with it in her '69 Camaro.

Hope this helps,

Does anyone know whether the Autocraft oil pan will clear the tru-turn? I'm also curious about whether the Autocraft offers enough strength to the block compared to a cast pan (I read somewhere they were structurally important)?

Don't know for sure, but comparing the measurements, it should fit just fine. Never seen a single complaint about the Autokraft pan, so structural support isn't an issue that I've heard of. In fact, never heard of Any aftermarket pan reducing structural integrity. It's a solid unit.

You could speak to Kurt at Autokraft (17158745921). He is very helpful

I've got an AutoKraft pan on my motor, it's a nice piece.
