I am looking for a high capacity oil pan that will clear the Mercruiser front mounts and starter in my 97 253. I looked around and found a Canton 10 qt. that might do the trick. 18-382 was the number. Anyone else gone down this road with their 253? I would like a larger capacity pan but I don't think the 12 or 14 quart pans are going to fit without issues. The engine is a gen 6 454 that's being stroked to a 496 w/Procharger. Thanks
