Coincidentally, a few weeks after we made the call, I remember reading a post (on fordfe.com) by Barry R that most his engines and those of fellow racers (at the time) were using, or going to Moroso pans. Its silly, but I admit, in my tiny mind, it help vindicate the choice, and get over the fact it wasn't an Armando or Aviaid pan.
PS: Last I checked it was cheaper than both of the above too.

Is your Moroso pan on a 429/460? If so, what is the depth and
oil capacity?
I have been through the catalogs of Moroso, Milodon, Canton and others and landed on Aviaid and Armando's for two primary reasons: 1) depth of pan and ground clearance issues; and 2)
oil control under acceleration and cornering. As to the former, I have 8.25" from my pan rails to the bottom of the bell housing and want my pan to be at least 0.5" above that, preferably a bit more. As to the latter, I haven't found any consistent information which would point to other pans being able to provide the level of
oil control offered by Armando's and Aviaid's pans.
