Why aluminum? I just run a Moroso flat bottom dual pick up oil pan on the street with no issues. However it is steel. With my accusump it is a 13 qt system.

I would assume that he wants to save weight by using aluminum. That can be deceiving though, I have seen some pretty thick, heavy, aluminum pans.

I ran a bunch of different custom pans, most of them built by Charlie, but the last pan I used on the dyno mule was a Moroso aluminum dragster pan. It had a big #20 AN fitting and we ran it with a belt drive pump. That setup really worked well.

I've seen some very nice stuff of theirs on some Super Stock applications.

That be true, that is why I make my own crankshaft scrapers

I have a cheap 440source aluminum center sump pan on mine. Been fine for years using a Milodon single external pickup system. The one in the pic is compressed slightly from a wheelstand, lol.
I did pick up a used Charlies pan a couple years ago, but I haven't gotten around to putting it on yet.
Those Shorty's pans look awesome!

Thanks for letting me know the other places out there that build these pans. Opens up some new options.

I did same indy setup on my source pan. Also had to put a clereance dimple for center link.
