Hello, whats the general consensus on using an aluminum Cobra T oilpan on my 390 . The original has been bottomed out and bent. Its useble but ugly. I have read about the Canton Pans . What do you think ? Olaf

Olaf,

Don't know what kind of pan you've got right now, but if it's stock, it's high time to get rid of it anyway. The T pan is nice cosmetically, and provides some protection from oil starvation due to the shape of the sump. If you're wringing the car out in turns, etc., go with a fully-baffled road race pan like the Canton pan, or the Aviad. There are others as well, I'm sure, but these are the two I hear about most often. I'm using the Canton pan, and it seems to work just fine.

TT

I use a Canton dual sump, and am very pleased. Very good quality, decent price (PAW).
