Best c4 tranny oil pan?

[Ripcity]

My C4 pan gasket is leaking so I'm going to change it so while I'm there I thought I would upgrade and put a nice solid aluminum oversized on. Two questions 1 where to get one and which one do you all like and 2 any tricks on installation to keep them from leaking?

I like Dave at PML Inc. www.YourCovers.com

2 qts over stock. And if you want to run a temp sensor in the pan, Dave will tap it for you.

Tell him, Charles sent you.

I like the stock pan because of its shape it holds fluid near the pickup tube even when on a hill when your wheeling.
One of these should fix your leaking issue: http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219170

I made my own after not being able to get several gaskets to not leak. Now I have no problems any more.

I had to have the FORD Racing pan and it looks killer!

 

[BRONCOBERT]

To seal it I used the supplied gasket with The Right Stuff gasket maker applied to both sides and no leaks.

Bert that is breath taking looking undercarriage wow!

Nice freaking work.

Where did you get that oil pan?

I run a BTE pretty nice

I have the same one. the stock pick-up tube needed to be cut down about 1/2" because the pan is a bit shallower, although it holds more fluid. The biggest plus, it was cheap.

Thanks, It is a Ford Racing part, part number is on the box in the first picture. Should be available through a hot rod shop or ford parts. I did hear rumors that it is no longer being produced, but my hot-rod shop had them in stock. You will have to have it drilled and taped for a dipstick, I used a modified Lokar dipstick with a 90 degree elbow.

Just curious broncobert how did you modify your lokar tube I am running into the same probably I can't find a dipstick tube to not hit my exhaust.

 

[BRONCOBERT]

It was quite easy actually, if you look in the 2nd and 3rd picture on the right you can see the 90 degree elbow AN fitting, I had a Lokar turbo 350 dipstick which I unscrewed the end fitting and the AN 90 screwed directly in its place and just shortened the dipstick to match the original.

In a shameless plug, we've got a new one (to us) as of the last week or so.
