I'd like to swap out my oil pan as I've always had issues with the rear drain plug leaking no matter what I try. Also, because I need a new dip stick, I was thinking the M-6675-A50 pan kit was a good idea.

However, no bung for the low oil sensor. For this reason I'm kinda heistant to buy it even though I'd just simply pull the dip stick to check oil like I should be doing anyway rather than rely on the bulb.

Looking around, all other pans seem like cheap Chinese junk with bad reviews. I also don't want to spend $400 on a high end pan.

Have a machine shop weld in a bung for the switch?

As I read around and search, I think i'll just leave the sensor off. One less potential leak spot. I'll just pull the dipstick like I should.

Now the debate between this kit...or a 7 qt pan.

Will a 7 qt pan clear your steering rack?

Rack's dimensions are same as stock Fox, so I would assume yes.

Stuff I have plenty of time to research I guess

Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
