I use a lot of Cantons on my stuff with no issues at all, they fit good and seem to last a long time.

Do you sell Canton pans? If so, mind sharing a price?

Most 351W combo's I've seen are running Canton's. I guess there must be a reason for that.

What I can tell you is DONT use a Milodon pan.... I made the mistake of going with a 7qt. Milodon pan. First of all the pan fit like crap, mainly due to the fact that it was slightly warped. It didn't clear the oil pump very well, so I had to slightly massage that area with a hammer. The oil pickup they supplied also fit very poorly, and took ALOT of modifing to get to work proparly, and of course it didnt clear the Probe main support at all, so once again the hammer came into play there. Another problem/design flaw that really pissed me off is the drain plug on the rear sump is located at the back of the sump. Well once I put the Mcleod SFI bellhousing on there was no way I could get the drain plug out so I had to cut a hole in the bellhousing and shatter plate so I could get the plug out. Another draw back to the drain plug being located there is at least a 1/4" of used oil will be left at the bottom of the pan when changing your oil, thus there is no way to get any fillings or any other crap that might be stuck at the bottom of the pan out. The drain plug SHOULD be located at the bottom of the rear sump so that the oil can be proparly drained. I have also now heard that Milodon pans are commonly known for cracking at the seams...Wish I would have known this when I bought it. Anyway sorry about the venting just a little word of the wise so you dont end up with the same headaches I did. Should have went with a Canton...I have heard nothing but good things about there oil pans and will definetly be what I purchase next time.
