A Canton road race pan will be going on my car soon. They're a very versatile pan. Folks even use them for drag racing. My car's my main driver, an auto-crosser and will be seeing some drag action too.

I still have my Canton Pan sitting on the shelf. If you wanted to see it in person, measure it, etc you are welcome to. It is a driver side dipstick, pre 86 pan.

They have the same dimentions, the dipstick notch is the only difference. Andy Jensen hooked me up with it. If you do decide on this pan, remember to order the oil level sending unit hole plug. It does not come with it and cannot be found locally.
