Hi I want to buy Canton oil pan to My 1979 Monte. What is that oil pan part number??? 6 or 7 quarts?Our original 350 block is currently at the engine shop getting new cam bearings, freeze plugs and hot tanked. Once returned we will begin building the 383 for our first autox in June. We will post details on the engine internals, heads and cam shortly.
In the meantime the Canton Racing road race pan just came in. Here is Canton's write up on the pan and explains why we choose it:
These road race series oil pans feature Canton Racing's competition baffling system with trap door baffles and directional runners. This system is designed to flow oil to the pickup compartment and control it during turns, acceleration, and braking. Each of these pans includes a crank scraper and windage tray combo designed to maximize power. They catch oil spray coming off of the crankshaft and prevent it from bouncing back onto the rotating assembly and/or bolt-in slosh baffles to control oil slosh. Canton Racing road race series oil pans feature a wide, low-profile sump for maximum oil capacity and ground clearance. They include provisions for an optional pan mounted dipstick, a magnetic drain plug, and in most pan applications, an oil temperature fitting.
Holy Horse Nipples, Batman!
Their rods are even “Manley”!
And with that cam, I’m guessing this motor is going to have a little rumble to it?
You still putting a pressure cooker on top?

We wanted it to sound strong.
Nope, always NA with a Mighty Demon 750 road race prep.
Should be pretty strong.

I'd make that block into a coffee table with a glass top and just gaze at the casting and machine work instead of the TV...
Truth be known . . . I pee'd a little but, at my age, I never know if that is excitement for Ramey and our UMI friends or just . . .
a day ending in Y?
Am I sharing too much yet?
