Default New oil pan for dart little m

Does anyone know will the moroso #21017 oil pan fit
C4 chassis?
http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?catcode=11912

Usage is 1mile airport racing and street.

Thinking about using it with dart little m, billet caps.
I know that many use Canton road race pans, but Canton pans kick outs look too big, I have turbos installed (callaway TT) next to the oil pan.

And next question, what oil pump to use? Thinking about using
CVR billet oil pump http://www.competitionproducts.com/p...umber=CVROP655 or moroso billet pump
http://www.competitionproducts.com/p...p?number=22171

Thanks.

Depends how low your car is ;
than pan is 1 1/4" deeper than the stock pan which is why most run the aftermarket stock depth pans with kickouts
Stock pan is level with the bottom of the X member

look at canton oil pans and their recommendations for oil pumps and pickups. A word of caution, the stock corvette pan is 6&7/8 inch deep; canton pans advertise 7 inch deep but is actually closer to 6&7/8 inch deep; its a VERY close fit and some very common pumps and pickups which fit in almost any other oil pan, stock or aftermarket, will simply not fit in such a shallow pan. This I know.

the mounting pad for the oil pump is 2&5/16 ths of an inch lower than the oil pan rail; this dimension, plus the overall height of the oil pump, from the suface of its mounting flange to the bottom of the pump, must fit within the 6&7/8 inch window; of course the thickness of the oil pan gasket gives you some "wiggle room" but very little. Good luck; let us know what you decide on and how it works out.

Why don't you call Moroso and check with them. They'll know, you don't want to buy a pan that has zero left and right hand control on them even if it increases the oil volume.

Tell them it is street/strip and they'll shoot you straight on usage and fitment on a Dart Little M.

The fact that it says, for "racers looking for maximum hp and oil control in a straight line acceleration" worries me that street use might result in oil starvation. Give em a ring.

The pan in the link above is a typical drag pan ; Moroso have road race types as well with doors for oil control

Problem with that type of pan is that I got TURBOS next to the oil pan.
No way that is going to fit.
