You will have to look into the pan-fill adaptor too if you have a stock EB C4. Go to www.tci.com to get the part #.

I bought one of the best C-4's on the planet ( Dynamic's Mighty Mite ) and it came with a stock Ford pan. I think Harold told me it would be the cooler that makes the difference not the pan. They use those C-4's in many 8 and 9 second cars behind small blocks and big blocks up to 500 inch. I had over 100 nine second passes on my car before I sold it and never had a tranny problem.

I got a B&M deep pan from Summit, not bad I think around 100 with shipping. It holds 2 more quarts and has not leaked yet. Aluminum and with the extra capacity it helps keep the temp down a little. Everything helps.

I am interested in adding an aluminum pan but couldn't find a way to add the case fill (like the stock EB C4) provision. Does B&M make a kit that I am just not finding or do you have a case fill C4? Or did you just mod it yourself and make it work? <br>Thanks<br>

i bought the B&M alum. one the other day for $122. installed it yesterday and it went on very smoothly. the only thing is the pan fill location is a little farther back than stock and i cant get the filler tube to screw in because its hitting the exhaust. didnt have to time to bend it but no big deal ;D

I asked guys about them once on here and got a pretty positive response. At least check it out.

I'm using the TCI deep aluminum pan. I welded in an aluminum bung for the temp gauge sender and used the TCI pan fill conversion kit. Dipstick fits fine, no exhaust interference with the Wild Horses/JBA shorties.<br><br>Dusty
