ok i figure i will kill two birds with one stone here. i am about to order my oil pan for my blown 302 set-up here soon. And wanted to know whick 7-quart pans you guys prefer between milodon or canton i have the specs for each below:

Canton:
9" Deep Sump Gives A 7 Quart System Capacity
Slosh Baffle
Magnetic Drain Plug
Built-In Crank Scraper
Provision For Pan Mounted Dipstick
Works With Long Tube Headers
^^^seems to be the best and the one i am leaning towards most.

Milodon:
8" sump 7 qt pan
screw in dipstick (That is all summit says about that one)
and the milodon is 50 dollars more

For question 2 for the super charger gurous! :hail2:
Which intake for a blown 302 i have always heard box style intakes are the best. trick flow has a new one out with the r-series lower and a box style upper but i doesnt except egr junk so it wouldnt be emissions legal so i guess that one is out. Has anyone used or delt with cartechs bread box style upper plenum? is it any good? what would be the best lower to go with that upper from cartech? stock ported? edelbrock? maybe a r-series lower?
Let me know what you guys think of that stuff please
 
the ceramic coated headers/ h-pipe are doing great. there might be some little pins spots of surface rust. on the headers i noticed the other day but i dont know for sure once i take the motor out saturday i will wipe them down and clean em up. But the cold air has a few rust spots on it as well but overall for the price there stuff is great i plan to re-use the long tubes and h-pipe and obviously scrap the C.A.I
