How does the Moroso pan compare to Canton? I was going to install a Canton RR pan with my Kmember swap but searching around found lot of people with leaks, I didn't need to add another headache.

I was looking at the MMR pan but I finally saw the inside of the pan and it looks as it it doesnt have the baffles and splash guards like the canton/moroso does. How has yours been holding up?
If you run a good oil cooler and keep the oil level FULL there is nothing wrong with the stock oil pan on the 4V Motor for road racing. We run one as hard as anyone in the country shifting at 6800 and have no problems with the stock pan but Do Not let the car get low on oil.....
How full are we talking? 7 quarts or more? I don have a aftermarket oil cooler but am planning on getting one when its time to do a K-member. I just really want to go out and have some fun before I dump a bunch of money in building it. I just want decent protection for track use.
Should I at least get a aftermarket windage tray with the stock pan or can I even use a aftermarket piece with a stock pan.
well, after spending some hours on the dyno last saturday the freaking canton is leaking like crazy and there is no way to get it not to leak.
does anyone know if the 2013 GT500 pan fits with the stock K-Member?
or any other options? I need to find a solution today and I don't want to go back to a stock oil pan with less capacity.

How did you install it? stock gasket?
I really think the key to not having any leaks on an aftermarket pan is to toss the gaskets and use blue rtv. I have the canton windage tray sandwiched inbetween the block and the pan. I put blue on both sides. No leaks.

I used new OEM gasket with a decent but thin bead of RTV on both sides of the gasket. I made sure to thoroughly clean all mating surfaces prior reinstallation.
Which windage tray are you running?
I chose not to use a aftermarket windage tray. If I were to I would use a canton tray.
I measured the GT500 oil pan and it's about the same depth as the stock cobra pan. The GT500 pan does not have ant baffling. I just need to verify that the GT500 windage tray has the same location to hold the oil pick-up in place. Below are the pictures of the GT500 windage tray.

I think MMR sells a composite windage tray that looks like the above tray for all modular motors. I always wondered what oem engine that it was off of.
Be worth it to call Steve @ Tousley and see what price we would get on one?

Iv'e seen MMR's windage tray and seriously considered it since it had a molded O-ring around the tray on both sides. I figured I would leave mine stock until I do a rebuild since people complained about having to shim the oil pickup and or tray. I'm not sure if thats the case with the MMR composite as I couldnt find anyone on forums that used one.
I would think it was a Ford item. What small company could afford to make such an item with the tooling costs and such. I looked at the GT500 pan closer and it does have some baffling around the oil pick-up.
During the racing, this would be vary panic thing related about Oil. Crew members always pay attention a lot to this. Here is some quality accessories that should be used Fuel Safe Bladders, Fuel Safe sportman, Fuel Hoses, Dry break rebuild kits etc ..
back up as I need to find a good oil pan quickly. any experiences with the moroso road race pan? the GT500 doesn't fit with the stock k-member.
is this the Moroso version of the road race oil pan I take it?

I may just go ahead and try this one, although it looks the same as the canton, I hope it is of better quality.
