Thanks

Don't you mean a 6.624471 liter pan?


I think that the one I have is Miloden. Watch the engine mounts that you use because many after market mounts won't allow the pan to clear the k-member.

I'm running a moroso. But I have a tubular k member and have no clearance issues.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

New moroso pans have billet ends on them and are really top quality. That's what I would look towards.

I ran a canton with windage tray and pick up.

Honestly i don't know if that would be a mod i did again.
Maybe on something high rpm or road race, but i'm not so sure it changes anything on your average street car.

It's not going to change anything, it just allows you to run more oil. More oil will reduce temps somewhat and with the blower, I like the idea of having more oil to circulate.

Thanks for the replies guys.

That's a lot of ass pain to change the oil pan because you like the idea of it.

Sure... Purchase one and have it on hand but I don't know that I'd ever install it unless some other thing made it necessary for the motor to come out or your current piece needs a gasket or something.

In the process of pulling motor right now, hence the oil pan replacement. Now is the time to do it.
