SBF Oil Pan Question

[corinthian cobra]

What is the preferred oil pan for the Unique car. For power...I am building a 351W that should develop about 425 hp. The car will be a "cruiser" and seldom driven in anger.. if ever at all....if I use a standard style pan...should it be a front or rear sump??? I will be using a windage tray for sure. I sure don't want to use the double sump pan that is found on a Mustang...If there was a preference it would be for a rear sump rather than a front sump...does that present any problems????

As always....thanks for all your learned advise...

Probably the most common pan will be a front sump with larger than standad capacity. Because of the low ground clearance I chose a Canton "cobra specific" road race style pan, It has internal baffles (to keep oil at the pickup during cornering) and a heavier gage steel construction (to help with any unforseen road debris).

when you see pictures or videos of our cobra's most have some type of front sump pan. looking at my car i do not see any obstacles to using a rear sump

Thanks for the help...one added question.....what road race front sump pan will fit a one piece main seal 1996 roller block?
