  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Any news on a deep pan for the 350?

    Also note that the area circled in blue is only humped like that to clear the pickup tube which I don’t use. And the area circled in black is only to clear the single exhaust cross over pipe. Even with headers there is a ton of room to add capacity on the sides and back. Not that I think a huge amount of oil is a great benefit other than cooling.

    I think that steel modified stock pan Steve posted at the start of the thread is the best bang for your buck.

    Im sure I wouldn't need the kick outs as Im not road racing.
    The attraction for the aluminum pan for me is the thicker pan flange...….. no/less warping:cool:

    yes just have him triple up the flange and get a 3/4” pan... girdle pan lol almost as cool as a mantle girdle.

    Mark,
    I have a solution for that also...….. I make the flange stiffener for the 350 pan. I don't have a good "full" picture handy, but these partial pics should get the idea across. They're 2 pcs.... left and right and they help to spread the load over the thin pan rail to help with the flexing and leaking. $50 /set.
