A.M. Performance Extra Capacity Baffled Racing Oil Pans

DivZero · 09-11-2012, 11:11 AM

The pans were designed in house and sent to a machine shop for production. You might want to contact Doran Racing about buying the old pans as some of the race motors went there. Either way, a similar pan could be developed with more oil capacity without too much difficulty--if the designer is familiar with oil pan baffling and CAD.

They had one pan left. I tried to get, but it was sold. Dollar short, and a day late.

No they outsourced them to a machine shop. They didn't have any CNC machines. The organization is dissolved so suspect it's lost cause. I do have a contact who I can ask but suspect all drawings etc are gone.

They were next to machine shop that had several CNC machines. I have a friend who has 2 CNC machines. If someone could get cad drawings I might be able to get him to do limited run.

The machine shop next door might still have a copy of the files laying around, although you'd still need to deal with getting permission from whoever technically owns the CAD info (someone has to be the eventual beneficiary of whatever AMPerf formerly owned).

There's a little more to it than just running the CAD file, some parts are hand assembled such as the 4 one-way gates. Without the original plans or a piece to reverse engineer it would take some work.
