Modified oil pans?
 
anyone ever add capacity to a stock pan? for way less than they get for a larger marine pan I think you could have some tin bent and add some capacity yourself...couple trap doors...shouldn't be that hard! Could be another side line for Maxx and Alfster...

I have modified small block pans for my Cigarette ,just like you said cut the bottom off of the sump and form up a kickout,put in a baffle system I did not use trap doors though.I used 16 gauge steel.But since My dad builds custom Aluminum Dry Sump Pans this was a piece of cake!

Offshore Addiction 12-15-2003 06:26 AM

Addiction what do they charge??can you use a standard pick up?

Offshore Addiction 12-15-2003 07:53 AM

depends on what you are wanting,usually you would use a deeper pick-up but once again,it depends on the volume you desire,I beleive they can go towards 10-14 qt pans,or even modify for drysump!

If you need a Gen 5-6 ,8 quart pan to use (cheap), let me know. I got this one by mistake and cant use it. The bottom has a dent so it would be perfect for modification.

dyno 12-15-2003 07:25 PM

I do have two pans but there in the boat so Formula 31's might be a good way to go....so what do you want for it???

formula31 12-15-2003 08:30 PM

$10 plus shipping which should be another $10 or less.

dyno 12-16-2003 02:10 PM

Thanks man if I can find someone to do it I'll PM you for the pan!

Dyno, Baker Engineering did my pan for me years ago. Cost was something like $75 or something. Added 3 quarts capacity making it a total of 8. Turned out nice. Was even re-painted when I picked it up.

dyno 12-17-2003 06:00 AM

Thanks Mike you the Man!!!can you still use a stock pick up???
