Trick Flow 727 pan

[fourgearsavoy]

Just installed the deep pan on my customers transmission. Very thick rails that won't leak no matter what gaskets you use. It comes with a Dacron filter and a premium Felpro composite gasket.
If I ran an automatic it would have one of these pans.

sad that they dont have one for a 904

I have the Summit Racing aluminum pans on both my cars and don't use a gasket, just the gasket maker compound. No problems. No gaskets on my oil pans either, just the gasket maker. After years of chasing constant leaks, finally cured that problem. ruffcut

Had one on my 68. Took it off because kept bottoming out on slightest speed bumps and curbs.

Looks like a nice piece! I use the Moroso unit and have been very happy with it but it doesn't have the cooling fins like yours does. Mine came with a pickup extension (which some on here said wasn't needed......whatever) and I've had zero leaks and perfect trans temps with my often-abused stroker and 4000 rpm converter.
Trick Flow might not actually make all of their stuff, but everything with their name on it that I've used has been excellent..

Yeah probably the exact same pan. I have to deal with cleaning sealer off of late model engines I work on for a living and I hate it. So I try to avoid using it whenever I can.

It is pretty deep for a street car so the customer might end up changing it for that reason. He also installed a deep pan on his engine while the trans is out so they both will be hanging low.

Agree, I made the same exact mistake on the 68. I went crazy with the transmission and oil pan. Not necessary for a street car. Ended up taking them both off. I bet he does the same.

I wish someone would made a stock cast pan or 1/2" taller max. I think they really prevent leaks.

The oil pan in my '15 Challenger is cast aluminum.

Those are nice pans but heavy. If you want a really nice light deep pan that doesn't leak? Cheap? $26.95, these are great. I've bought a bunch of them. Heavy material with a drain plug.

Thanks Doug
I will keep that link handy. He already had a MP deep chrome pan on it so that might be going back on it.

Summit owns Trick Flow. Probably the same part.

anymore, i use the new one piece A518 type pan gasket with the printed silicone seal ribbon.
don't forget to look close at the low/reverse servo pin area where it comes through the case. this area has been known to leak, leading one to believe it's a pan gasket when it isn't.
the shaft o-ring need replaced when this happens.
however, one can hose the case where the shaft pokes through with brake-clean, then pack the cavity with high temperature black or copper RTV.
fast red neck fix if one doesn't want to disassemble anything..........

That's a nice pan! And for $160 is a great price imho. I have the B&M pan which was almost $100 more and they look very similar in build.

I use the cork gasket glued to the pan and haven't had issues. I also run a deep oil pan, but I built a steel scrape plate that is welded to the k frame. Never an issue.

If anybody is looking we have a B&M aluminum pan. Excelent shape with a welded bung for trans temp. Bung if not used takes a 1/8" pipe plug. Has been welded on the bottom. We were trying a fitting there that didn't work out. $125. We swapped it to save weight.

i bought one of those B&M deep pans minus the pickup at a swap meet one time that had a couple of the fins ground away from contact for $45.00
being a machinist, i "whittled up" a pickup from aluminum flat bar.
works good, so having a couple of extra deep pans of varying depths, i made some for those as well.

I use a similar deep pan with provision for a Temp sensor.... Aeroflow AF72-3004 - from Australia - thanks to @66 Sat for the tip on that.

Notice that the sump plug and sensor are side mounted to prevent tearing off if the pan is scraped.


Price is in Australian dollars.

Interesting thought here. We have had this discussion many times. Think about the filter extension this way, If it is 1" thick, it positions the filter 1" lower into the fluid than the factory filter. Not a bad idea if you are racing where the force of cornering or acceleration can cause cavitation issues. For most street driving, an extension is not needed. Full level with a shallow stock pan ts the same level as full with a deep pan.
