One reason I started building my own parts was because the parts I bought from Hamburger were such poor quality.
Sounds like the same reason I switched to assembling my own engines after paying "professionals" to do the work and still experiencing issues that IMO could have been avoided.

A bunch of us got the distributor stablizer (the collar with set screw to prevent the oil pump drive bouncing up and down changing timing conditions. Still have it, and lost count the number of motors it's been in.

That was a long time ago but it is one of the things that started me down the path of designing and building my own stuff.
 We still have some of their overpriced stuff in the attic.Some of their oil pan designs are good for lawn sprinklers and some of their internal parts are great for comming apart and causing engine failres.

I bought the street/strip oil pan for a 340. The pan fit well and did not hang down very far past the K-member. I think it was a 6 qt and had accel/decel baffles. I have a pic somewhere. If you want, I can post later tonight. Also, bought tool steel lightweight wrist pins. Tried to order parts after they moved to Wirtz, VA, but did not have much luck. I think whoever he sold the business to kept the name, but the service and tech dept was lousy. Still have an old performance catalog from the '80s.

If you can post up a pic of the street/strip oil pan, that would be great!

a year ago at a swap meet in milwaukee i bought a welded sheet aluminium oil pan for my 470. the seller said it was a ed hamburger unit but there were no markings or tags. i did a web search but the closest pan i found was one that 440 source had that was kind of like it. seems he did alot of cheby stuff. i cleaned it up and had the external pick up hole welded up then knocked in two holes for a swinging pick up. i may use it, maybe not...

Not knocking anyones product but simply recalling old issues that we seen with some of their parts ie: Distributer shaft stabalizers that fell apart and cause major internal engine damage. Oil pans that leaked like lawn sprinklers at seams and welds. Crank scrapers and windage trays that cracked and caused internal damage as well as crank and rod interference.. Pan rails and bolt holes alignment and placement.

Had one of his aluminum 340 pans, with the tube for the center link. Had a pickup and plate that bolted directly onto the oil pump, after removing the rotor cover. First fire up on a new motor, the rotors bound up against the pickup plate,locking the oil pump and shearing the pin in the distributor drive. Needless to say that pan and pickup came right out.
