IMO, a high quality, professionally built pan is cheap insurance on an engine. $500 seems expensive until you frag a $5000-8000 engine. Now, can you build your own to save some bucks, absolutely. Oil starvation is the big issue with lateral loading, so installing shelves, gates, and extenders in a stock pan to keep oil around the pick up goes a loooong way over doing nothing. Oval track suppliers can provide kits to add capacity. While designed for left hand turns, adding two kits to both sides of the sump is possible. The kicker is that you have to understand the kit size and clearances you are working with to ensure it doesn't interfere. A more budget friendly version may be the Kevko unit. While not as technically advanced as the Milodon pan, its better than stock. http://kmjperformance.com/kevko-m302-new-mopar-chrysler-race-x-tra-capacity-oil-pan-360.html

That might be a nice modest cost upgrade, have you seen one yourself internally for its effectiveness? Hmmm... interesting. I just pulled up pics on google (most came from here). Seems a bit overkill for what i need, right now anyways, but i like planning for the future. My concern, is budget... is it worth a SLAM to my already tenuous budget right now. I had budgeted for a $50 used pan from some Mopar parts vulture. Even a $300 used set up will run me well over $400 by the time i can hold it. The Kevco kit looks interesting, last time i looked for it i couldn't find it... Probably gonna come down to this, or that damn 16:1 manual box...

That might be a nice modest cost upgrade, have you seen one yourself internally for its effectiveness? Nope, I have not. They have been in the oval track game for quite a while though. It used to be their only mopar pan was a rear sump, modified chassis pan. This center sump stock chassis unit is newer. I had budgeted for a $50 used pan from some Mopar parts vulture. Even a $300 used set up will run me well over $400 by the time i can hold it.

Probably gonna come down to this, or that damn 16:1 manual box... Well then, modify your stock pan. Add on extension kit for $19 or a add on trap door kit for $15. Of course, both chevy based, but adaptable. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/shop/oval-track-engine-oil-pans~142-2-10-599-5562 Other option, roll you own oil accumulator. There are some budget options around this effort as well that you could make with hardware store parts for under $30. Its not like the oil system is super high pressure; https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/...mp/32723/page1/

I used a Kevko baffled pan with the 360 for about four years. Nice pan, fit well.
