Will the Canton Oil pan Part #15-242T work with an aftermarket bmr k member? Also is there enough clearance in the pan for a 383?

 

I have a 6 qt Canton Oil Pan (not sure of the part #) in my 383 car, and I also have the BMR K member as well as the upper and lower A-arms. Everything fit just fine in my car.

 

yes it will fit.

 

I have done some reading and it seems even with that oil pan and a 383 stroker kit that the rods still hit the pan? I have the 5.7 rods do you think I will still have to clearance the pan?

 

The rods are not even close to the pan.

I bought a Canton oil pan about 5-6 years ago and I bought a BMR k-member about 3 years ago and had them make it special being a 1/2 lower than normal.

I believe that Canton changed their style at some point because my pan was rubbbing on the original steering rack and it would have hit if I would not had it special made.

You don't read of that anymore.

 

Alright. Just checking because I dont want to spend that kind of money on a pan and then have to clearance it for my stroke.

 

The rods will clear just fine, as they do in my 383.

 

Just a note, if your using FLP/Dynatech headers, mine are the older FLP's with a canton oil pan, they touch on the LH wing of the oil pan.
My engine shop had to clear the scrapers in the oil pan a little for the crank.
Side note on an above comment, the pan has plenty of clearance to the steering rack, now.

 

Yea, What size rods do you have? I dont want to buy that 300 dollar pan if I have to clearance it.

 

6" rods

 

So the Canton pan will clear the bmr tubular k member? Im going with the madman manual rack. Will I have any problems with it hitting that either?

 

the only way to know if it will clear is to mock it up, I had to clearance the crank scraper on mine I have manley 5.7 rods and the bolts hit the scraper, a little tapping with a ball pein hammer and problem fixed.

 

Im talking about will the pan clear the bmr k member

 

Sure it will
