Re: AMC Six high capacity oil pans

[farna@xxxxxxx]

Moroso used to make a kit that added a quart or so capacity by kicking out to the sides. You cut the bottom out of your pan then welded the sump on. The easiest way is to take a 1"-2" hole saw and just cut a few big holes in the sides (more like in the bottom side corners) of your original pan then weld the sump on. No chance of getting the pan to deep for the pickup, and creates a baffle. I actually saw one done like that with NO WELDING! The sump was riveted on with a good bead of RTV on the mating surfaces. No leaks.
