Got new oil pan
I got a new oil pan for my 73. I picked up this Moroso pan at a swapmeet last weekend for $50. http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?catcode=11955 It was brand new and also had a windage tray in it. I ordered a pickup and put it on last night. It should help during more spirited driving.

I love new parts. :yesnod: By the description it sounds similar to the one I'll be using on my BB.
Except I paid a lot more than $50.

That's a wicked looking oil pan. I know the transmission cooling lines run right next to my oil pan on the passenger side... any problems with that?
And now that I am at it.... what are the benefits?

Re: Got new oil pan (bgrice)
My transmission lines run below the starter, but above the pan kick-out. The headers are awefully close though. This pan is deeper than stock by about 3/4". This pan provides more oil control (oil is more likely to be at the pickup & less likely to be splashed up onto the crank). It will probably provide slightly less oil temp by virtue of more area & oil, but not a lot.
