I'd be interested into knowing if this setup works. Same pump and pan I plan on using on my new build.

I'll let you know next week bounce

FYI - The Canton 13-772 has a supposed 6 1/2" sump but that is a taper from 6 1/4" at the rear to 6 1/2" in the front. Still hits just as much as the street/strip pan. BFH on new parts and some grinding on the pump it is! Mad

Well that sucks.....thanks for the info tho. I wonder which pan I should buy now, or if any of the off the shelf pans are going to fit?

Even at that....a few of the Moroso pans very well may need to be hit with a hammer or file/mill a little off of the end cap with the Kaase oil pump.

Has the moroso pan and Kaase pump. I didn't do the assembly but when I looked at the pan I didn't notice any hammer (peen ) marks where the pump is.

Lem I looked into the Moroso pan but it has the built in windage tray and this motor already has the main girdle and windage tray. The Canton drag pan showed a drawing claiming it had a 6 1/2" front sump. Drawing was wrong! I even called Canton and talked to them about what I was doing and in regards to the Ford girdle/windage tray and got "thats what they made for, big, to clear everything". Well, didn't clear the girdle either but oh well. Couple of hours of massaging it fits, just looks a little lumpy like my head.

Soup, why do you have a girdle on it ?

my canton pan worked fine with my kaase pump. my pump did make contact with crankshaft though..

Lem Evans on Wed Dec 14, 2011 8:18 pm

Moroso makes a pan w/o the screen etc.......looks the same from the outside.
