I'm not surprised you have come up with yet again another amazing billet product, and am thoroughly enjoying looking at it :)

I have often thought about that--not with aluminum, but with concrete.
You can see a project I worked on with my brother-in-law for inexpensive housing in Haiti and Tanzania here:

That was the first step--but we could not deal with the governments. They kept throwing up road blocks. It is very sad so many people suffer needlessly.

Let me know--we'll have good pricing for the first couple of days only. This pan will be a huge improvement over the original pans in terms of access, leaks, and performance.

The dimensions are the same as an original pan. The pan is 17 3/4 long, 12 wide, and 5 1/2 deep.

ps. no free billet blocks :) |

guy with a SOHC said he paid $10K for a billet Dailey dry sump pan...don't know how much I believed him...
Dry Sump Oil Pans

$10,000 seems a little high--even for a custom, one-off pan. But who knows how much work went into it???

If you have ever had to change an oil pan gasket you will know how much of an improvement this is over an original pan. You have to jack up the motor to take an original pan off--it is maddening. We won't hold our introductory pricing for long, however.

Isn't that the truth. It seems that, worldwide, we can't even begin to do what is right for people because of the government and their imposed regulations (read TAXES and bribes).

Let me in on this too. I need a pan for my car, stock just won't do.
It at least ought to match! |

David, beautiful work...you guys are the greatest.
As for the $10,000 Dailey pan, I have a Dailey dry sump pan on my FE and I can assure you it didn't cost anywhere near $10,000 including the pump. Mine was the first one Bill built for an FE, I know because I waited a very long time while he did the CNC program. The FE dry sump pan pictures on his site is the bottom of my car.
Be careful with that other guy....he stretches the truth a little.

Showed the pix to my other half and she agreed that I would need a billet pan to go with my billet engine. Problem as I see it is , I'm not getting a billet engine in this lifetime.:CRY:

I have had to pull the pan several times, but it's a little easier since I have the Canton pan and don't have to jack up the engine. In fact that's the only reason I've stayed with the Canton. Is there a puke tank drain back fitting?
Please PM me with the intro pricing. - Thanks! |

Pricing isn't fixed yet. There is indeed a fitting for the puke tank drain back.

I'm interested too & willing to dump the Canton for this Kirkham work of functional art!:cool:
...anxious to see the introductory pricing.
