Custom oil pans???

After seeing and reading about problems people are having with the 'off the shelf' pans not fitting I'm considering having a pan made. Charlie's oil pans comes to mind. Are there any others to consider? Any options to consider? Back in my dads sbc days he went from a Moroso unit to a Charlie's and picked up a tenth in the 1/8th on a pretty serious deal that already ran 5.80's. Brian.

I think Williams Performance does some of the very nicest work out there. They can build it the way you want. I would have used them on my new build, but I got a very sweet deal on a set of shorty valve covers and pan from Moroso which are also nice pieces.

Stef's does some great work also. www.stefs.com

Check out Dan Olson in Califorina. THE nicest aluminum pans made !!

ive had good luck with canton pans

if charlies pan is the same one im thinking of -they are down in my next of the woods - they are crap and i know this cause a buddy of mine has his oil pan and ive fixed it several times due to the por welds .... just a heads up

This is the Charlie's pan that Fabio has used for at least 5 years w/o an issue. Ky Jelly and Bruno have them amoung others on this forum. Where is your 'neck of the woods'?

mine ain't ever had to be fixed, best g-damn oil pan I ever owned..................hell I may have to own another one here soon for the backup motor...............

Well I guess I'm picky sorry carry on

Here is a good picture of me and the junky azz Charlie's pan that Phillip put on Mike Steven's engine that is setting on the dyno as we speak.

Damn junky iol pans.

now now lem i didnt say they were junk i said the quality of the weld were not so great

and if you wanna compare quality take them valve covers you just posted for sale and look at them now my friend those are sweet looking ,looks like i welded them ...

you must weld valve covers better than you do DIY intake manifolds..........

Ouch......

Considering I never welded a manifold you are probably right
