Milodon oil pans are designed to maximize performance for a specific application.
They are intended for the engine, the car, and the use.
The engine may have a stock stroke length or a longer stroke.
The car may differ from the engine that came stock, or if it was stock, there may be room for headers and chassis components.
The use will determine ground clearance, type of oil pan baffling, and required oil capacity.
Important requirements for performance oil pans include oil control to ensure good oil supply, tray and scraper design to yield maximum power, increased sump capacity to assure an ample supply of lubricant at lower oil temperatures, plus design considerations such as required ground and component clearance.
Street and Strip oil pans require more oil capacity for higher performance and RPM than when stock, yet still need adequate ground clearance.
While doing this, they must clear crossmembers, steering, exhaust, headers, and bigger crank and rods.
Pro Touring oil pans are the buzzword of today.
As most engines use stroker cranks now, cubic inches are increased.
Match that to cars that are dropped and are rarely at stock height anymore, and you have a problem.
A Pro Touring pan will provide stock or better ground clearance as well as increased oil capacity and control that a high horsepower engine requires.
Drag Racing oil pans assure an ample supply of lubricant under rapid acceleration while providing maximum power.
Circle Track oil pans are engineered to control oil in hard turns, long straight-aways, and on rough tracks.
Off-Road oil pans are built to deliver constant oil pressure whether at high speed across a flat or slow speed rock crawling on radical terrain.
Marine oil pans are designed to provide an ample supply of oil and reduced oil temperatures.
