Default Re: Oil pan question

Years ago Oshawa stamping made the small block oil pans. They eventually developed a method, along with open molecule steel, to draw the shape of the pan in a single draw. It was a two step process before. A short deep sump like that would be impossible to draw, period. The longer sump would be easier to do. I have one of these pans and the oil pump but just never had a project to use it on.
