In my Cobra Restorers Ltd. Catalog they have the Aviaid Pan listed as: Aviaid Baffled Oil Pan. It goes on to say that it has "internal baffles AND gates......". How does this differ from the Canton pans internals?
I have a Canton Road Race pan (with tray) currently on my 427SO. It leaks from the rear of the pan (top rear) which I'm hoping is just a gasket issue. But, I was thinking that if I have to take the pan off anyway I may want to "upgrade" to the Aviaid Pan. Is it truely an upgrade over the Canton? -Enough of an upgrade to justify the price?? (I guess that would be up to each individual).
Can someone recommend a dealer / location who has a good price on these pans (I'm sure it's not Shelby)? They go for a whopping 670.00 bucks in the Cobra Restorers catalog AND another 46.00 bucks for the Windage Tray (yes, they're sold seperately Motorhead.....at least with these guys), AND 15% for shipping and handling. We're talking 800.00 by the time all is said and done.
