[RACER X #99]

Armando's pans are replicas of Aviad pans. His ad says he worked for Aviad for 15 year building pans. I bought one for my Dart SB. Nice pan but his service sucks, he doesn't return calls and I think he builds the pans on the kitchen table in between meals. His price is a little cheaper than Aviads.

I have used Canton pans and one developed a crack right in the center of the pan and no I didn't hit anything.

The main difference between the Canton and Aviad style is that the Canton has a deep sump in the front or rear depending on which pan you buy and the Aviad has a more shallow sump that runs the full lenth of the pan. This allows for the engine to be installed lower in the chassis and may be why some of the originals used the Aviad pan. This was the reason I went with the Aviad style from Armando. I lowered the engine 2" from It's original location.

Buy what do I know I run a sb.
