Looking at making a alum oil pan. I get so many calls for oil pans and do not have enough to supply.
A steel stamping is going to require a massive investment in tooling. Upwards of 100 K
A cast alum pans tooling also expensive but is far less.
The needs are for 2 different oil pans. One for 250 and another for 292. The 292 having a deeper sump.
With a alum pan features can be added for better performance.
- Larger capacity for oil
- Drain backs for turbo use
- internal baffling in sump
- Windage tray
- Better sealing
Considering the idea of 1 pan rail system and 2 different bolt on sumps depending on the application of 250 vs 292.
Thoughts? Additional features?
