I am starting to think you may be right about keeping a stock pan and adding the accusump. However my Canton pan arrived last week and I sent it back to the Canton homeworld yesterday to have a fitting installed for the dip stick. I was not aware that a dip stick was considered an option but it seems to be. So before it arrives back I plan to buy stock in Permatex.
Yes I know the stock pan is low, however the bellhousing is even lower. So anything the
oil pan misses the bellhousing wont.
