I've got to run an external oil pick up for the Imperial's 543. Being big fat street car it'll never see any real Gs on launch or braking, and you can forget cornering. I'm sure that 99% of the users have accereration in mind but what did you use and how do you like it?
I'm not sure if I'd rather weld a flange to the pan, use an O-ring bulkhead fitting, or what.

The external stuff usually leaks so for a street car you should spend some extra time and make sure it is leak proof. You'll have to re-engineer the stuff that is on the market since it is all designed for drag racing and tends to leak. i have 2 cars sitting in the garage and both have dual line milodon systems and neither one leaks and amazing the one just sat for 7 months getting painted and fired up with 80 pounds instantly. that is a street car with no issues at all.

Likely the stock pan. I haven't found any aftermarket pieces that have the extra notch in the front corner for the C bodies.

I have the DMI washers/seals on two different engines using Milodon single line external oiling w/ static pickups. One seeped a little oil from day one. A thin coating of silicone b/t the washers and around the fittings stopped it and has been leak free ever since. The other required no sealer, just the supplied O-rings, and has been leak free.

The DMI washers/seals did not work without mods on my Milodon pan because the hole in the pan was too big. I modified it to work. I am an o-ring junkie, and everything that I can o-ring I do. I had zero leaks on the race motor while on the dyno.
