Custom oil pans???
Race Ready Fabrications on Tue 20 Dec - 9:56
After seeing and reading about problems people are having with the 'off the shelf' pans not fitting I'm considering having a pan made. Charlie's oil pans comes to mind. Are there any others to consider? Any options to consider? Back in my dads sbc days he went from a Moroso unit to a Charlie's and picked up a tenth in the 1/8th on a pretty serious deal that already ran 5.80's. Brian.

I think Williams Performance does some of the very nicest work out there. They can build it the way you want. I would have used them on my new build, but I got a very sweet deal on a set of shorty valve covers and pan from Moroso which are also nice pieces.

This is the Charlie's pan that Fabio has used for at least 5 years w/o an issue. Ky Jelly and Bruno have them amoung others on this forum. Where is your 'neck of the woods'?

you must weld valve covers better than you do DIY intake manifolds..........

Considering I never welded a manifold you are probably right
