Looking for a new oil pan, the one i got from MPS is leaking and i dont feel like getting another cheapo. in the future i will be upgrading my front suspension with either a griggs or MM K-member. can some of you guys please tell me which oil pans to look at which will work with an aftermarket k member and lowered suspension. also, how much labor is involved in the removal of the old one and installation of the new one as i am not sure how labor intensive this is going to be.

i am also looking at products to help strengthen my bottom end while it is going to be exposed. some suggestions on choosing a main support system and windage tray would also be much appreciated.

FYI i have been looking at D.S.S.'s products but I am not sure if any machining would be necessary. I am unfamiliar with these areas and your helpful suggestions will no doubt reinforce my purchasing decisions.
thanks in advance

I have a Canton T-sump oil pan(which has baffles kind of like a mini-windage tray) and a Canton main girdle with the Canton windage tray. The only modifications I had to make was to bend the pick-up a bit to get it to fit with all the junk down there. It's worked well as far as I can tell. My engine was out of the car when I installed all of this. I'm not sure how difficult it would be with the engine in the car. You're already taking out the K-member and what not so that should help quite a bit.

I don't know about removing a stock oil pan, but there is no way I could get my Canton T-sump out without lifting the engine or taking apart the k-member and steering stuff. And if I couldn't get it out without doing that stuff then I doubt you could get one in.
