any body have pics of there homemade oilpans ???
ryobi jig saw, hitachi sander, orbit pulse mig & wolah! this baby holds 10 litres & only hangs 3/4 inch below the K frame. even made my own perforated baffle system.
Just a note, screens should only be used in conjunction with a anti splash back device. The oil can splash up into the rotateing assembly on hard braking or hard accel. On faster cars, this can be bad.
Mine has a scraper, a front reversion lip, trap door, dipstick tube, windage tray, and swinging pick-up.

These new Milodon pans seem to work pretty well but they only fit the Magnum Force or AlterK type front suspensions.
I have that model pan for my Challenger. but mine was modified 35+ years ago along with the k-member made to fit

Just to coment on how bad the pan I recieved was, the swinging pick-up was hitting the back of the pan, which could not be left that way, the welded junk seems leak in so many spots its not funny, no dipstick tube, yet it was specified, the front of the pan hit the k-member, yet was over an inch off the CAD print and it had to be milled off and re-done. The back rail of the pan was sooo wide, it hit the main cap studs, and the studs had to be cut down to allow the pan to fit. I guess they only use stock bolts on high end engines. Not to mention I had to do this with the engine in the car.
I am sorry, but for well over $700, you would have to give me it for free to get another one from them. As far as I am concerned, they owe me a pan to the print without the aweful leaky welded rails, JUNK!

I have to jump in with an AMEN here...my dragster pan fit like crap...wouldn't clear the main studs on the rear cap...fixed that by grinding clearance in the pan  ...then...didn't notice that the back edge of the pan was too wide and fouled against the mid plate...after...I had it installed on the engine and was bolting the mid plate on ...had to pull the pan back off and cut the back edge off...like said above...you would think for that price they would account for main studs and mid plates...I mean it's a dragster pan for goodness sake...we all run mid plates...
