Default looking for LTx Oil pan (replacing canton)

I don't like the Canton pan I had on the car. Too many leaks and too flimsy of a design. Does anyone make billet or quality pans that are similar to the canton? I'm trying to do as much googling as I can but I'm hoping you guys might know some brands.

I bought a Champ pan, road race style, and have no leaks. It also has more baffles than a Canton, specifically one just for braking. It has a dual windage tray setup, nice pan. I did have the inside teflon coated to help oil drainback, and I have no oil pressure issues. I useda Melling select 10552 pump, it worked with the Champ pickup. AL

Talk to Larry (he is the owner). He builds the nicest wet sump pans you can buy. All hand built, and TIG welded (every stich perfect).

Some pics of mine.

PM and I will give you my Fathers shop and name to drop to Larry, he may give you a break on the price a bit. We have been doing busness with him since the 1980's. His pans have always help keep our motors ahead of the competition. You will not be disapointed.

i removed my canton as well. not just leaks, but also oil delivery problems when racing, and i ended up swapping bearings twice because of it.

i replaced it with a kevko. it seems to have solved all of my problems. it also cleared everything in my 3.875" stroke engine with aftermarket parts. the canton needed some persuasion (which is probably why it leaked).
