    I wanted to put a cobra t-oil pan on the 302 in the Mav, but after looking underneath it appears nothing but the factory one will fit. Is anyone using a higher capacity pan in their Mav or Comet? If so, who made it.

    Thanks

    Thanks guys. When I got the Mav with the 302, I never thought I would be limited as to what pan would fit this vehicle.

    Yes, unless you change the suspension to Mustang II/III it's almost impossible. But, you can a pan specially made for you by Canton. They used to make a stock type pan where the sump was extended down toward the ground another 3 to 4 inches.....................kind of limited.

    I use a canton 15-630 but you have to modify the lower arm mounts, very quick and easy to do but there is cutting and re welding to do.
