When building my new 383 Motor I need to buy a new Oil Pan I wanted a 8 Qt Canton oil pan but Pircey very Pricey.

I found this Copy cat Knock off pan for Half the price.

So far I have about 2000 miles on it dont leak fit good so this why I passing the deal on.

Whom ever looking to buy a replacment or building a new motor.

Why pay $399.00 for a Canton I know they most likley thicker metal and better made but for a DD you can beat the deal.

IVE put those pans side by side with the canton pans and there ARE a few differences , the canton pans welded better,has a better windage try design, and at least on the two pans I compared had thicker metal, etc. but both function and your correct theres a huge difference in price.
I generally fabricate my own oil pans , making the lower sump extended and baffled from old stock pans or fabricating sumps, but if you don,t own a decent welder and have the skills those knock off pans ARE a decent value at the price!
