A ? about the oil pan.

the pans themselves will physically bolt to either engine with no problems. but the oil PUMPS are different between front and mid sump. if you swap pans, you must also swap oil pumps.

as far as im concerned, 500 bux for a modified oil pan from drift motion is a lil expensive, but there is alot of fab included.

im making my oil pan with all the things they put on, but i have a welder and some fab skills so..

8 qts is a good amount of oil, but for the price of 500 id say a full custom pan would be more worth it. look at companies like moroso and milodon. you pay 200-300 bux for a full custom pan for a SBC or SBF and get great quality, sometimes full aluminum pans.
