Canton Oil Pan

[Jim Dewar]

Has anyone used a Canton #15630 9qt. road race oil pan on a 302 block in a RF chassis? I think there are 2 possibilities, 7qt.(15610) or 9qt.(15630). I'am not sure about the 13 1/2" depth.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

I've used the 7, fits like a glove. Got one on my motor now, you can see it in the "New RF motor" thread in the Engines forum. In fact, you saw it installed in the car I think!

Jim,
I'm also using the 7 (15-610).

Thanks Ron and Peter, I wonder if the 9 quart will clear the chassis? I will likely order the same as yours.

Hi Jim and all. There have been several posts on here that talk about pans fitting the RF.
pan post
I have been wondering if my pan would fit, and if so If I would need to relocate the plug. I have a 9qt moroso pan.
Well today I spent some time so I could sleep better at night and maybe it will help someone else as well, no matter what brand they buy. My pan is 8 inches deep, by 10 1/2 inches for the front sump, front edge to the aft end, not counting the aft end oil plug sticking out.I pulled my short block off the stand , tacked on the pan , and slid her in . /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. As you can see it fits with plenty of room to spare. I can even get the plug out with no problems at all, Not even close,,, wheww,,LOL.
This is with the engine level.

Another shot, about flush with the bottom too, (remember the dropped floor is a inch lower than this).It seems everyone copies each others pan, as mine has the same 4 diagonal positioned hinged doors as well, plus a plate above to I think de-airate the oil.

Wow Dan!!!!!!! I didn't expect you to install your engine to give me an answer.
Thanks,

Anything for you Jim, now how the heck do I get it back out, LOL. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gifActually its already back on the stand and at least I know I wont have to tear it back apart for a pan that wont fit.
