I want a new one and was looking at the Moroso street/strip deep sump oil pan.Is there anyone using it and if so were there any problems with clearances or leaks, etc.Any help would be appreciated. thanks Stewart

 

I run the deep pan #20180 on my Z with no bad side effects.My car is lowered an inch with Hotchkis springs and still no problems,I hit my scattershield first.The pan sits even with if not a bit higher than the crossmember,so you will hit the crossmember first anyway.Only problem I had was the y-pipe (SLP 1.75" headers and y-pipe) where it crosses over in front of the pan was a little tight.I dimpled the y-pipe here and there and have not had a problem yet in the 2 years the motor has been in..no leaks,or anything for that matter.I like the pan and am very happy with it,highly recommend it on a high winding motor that sees abuse..hehehe

 

Thanks. What engine are you running?Summit says the #20180 is for pre-1980 blocks?I wonder if my slp 1 5/8 y-pipe is the same.

 

I am running a '72 350 4 bolt block.In its current state it is a 355 with some bolt on goodies..AFR's,4340 forged bottom end,the small stuff.I don't know if the y pipe is the same size or not between our headers,yours MAY be a little smaller,but either way it won't really be a problem.You just need to get the pan that works for your motor (1 piece seal) and you will be good to go.
