Anyone have one for sale? They have an additional 1 qt capacity. I think I still have the factory crank scrapers but need the pan. Thanks j.blusnavage@att.net

 

I too was looking for a toro pan because of the extra quart capacity and stock looks then I read this posting
http://people.ucalgary.ca/~csimpson/Tech/Toropan.html

what I went with is a "stock" oil pan from MILODON #30765 which holds 5 qts plus filter, ( it doesn't say it on the site, but I called and confirmed this and after it was installed 6 qts filled my engine and the correct level on the dip stick)

the pan is very well made and looks virtually stock.

 

Nice info, I will prob go that route.

 

Better would be to take the Toro pan, cut out the hump or flatten it with a piece of pipe and a hammer after heating with a rosebud tip on an acetylene torch, add front and rear baffles. Best would be to start with a Toro pan to get the scraper, bend it to get enough but not too much clearance to the crank and rods, weld on a new sump and baffles to increase capacity. Toro depth is same as the milodon 7 qt pan; 8 qt is an inch lower and an inch below the crossmember at the same time. I like the scraper, but the easiest is the Milodon pan and if you plan on the high volume Melling 22HV oil pump you should get at least 7 qt capacity, particularly if over 5000 rpm is to be seen.

 

I have a Milodon pan on my 455 and it works great. Don't waste time and money on the Moroso pan.

 

I have a Toro Pan with the square windage try, deeper pick up tube, and two main bolts (Mon-dumbo) said would work for the tray. And the hump has been worked out. That was the way I got it. All I did was clean it up, and paint it. I went stock with my build, so I used the stock pan. PM me if interested.

 

Thanks for the offer but I too have decided to go the stock route on my 67 project after thinking things thru.

 

The Toro pan does not live up to the hype.You need to get the oil away from the crank.The tighter belly area does the exact opposite.This has been proven on a few different engines,on a dyno,with ONLY the oil pan swap.Each engine made more power without the Toro pan.Anywhere from 7HP to 15HP.The higher-winding engines will benefit more without one.Use a stock style pan,or an aftermarket Moroso or Milidon pan,if you want more capacity.Both of these aftermarket pans have the same belly shape as the stock pan.They just have a deeper sump with some baffles in the sump area.
