but i dont want to change my pickup. i currently have a leaking milodon low pro style 7inch deep pan

i think this moroso one would work and save me $20 in the process

or thinking about the source aluminum pan for $150 but doesnt come with a drain plug

or just getting another milodon

I can't comment on the 'Source' aluminum pan not having even seen one up close. Looks nice in the pictures, but so did my ex-wife. /

Is the Milodon damaged or just has a gasket leak? it is scraped so thin i dont think it is even weldable. it has been on the car for a long time so i cant complain. that moroso has the drain plug out the side and near the front i do like the kickout in the back of the sump. seems like it would hold oil in place better why they dont make the six pack/hemi pan one inch deeper i will never understand. it would be the perfect pan at about 6-6.5 inches deep Gen 3 power 6.22@110, 9.85@135 Follow @g3hemiswap on instagram performance only racing, CRT, ultimate converter, superior design concepts, ThumperCarbs

ANYTHING is fixable ...I say beef-it-up with some heavier plate and make a skid-plate so it does not happen again. It HAS to be cheaper than buying a new pan.

As I was told you will have to open up some if the holes to fit ! But for $150 dollars vs the milodon and a lil of my time it's well worth it! The pan is made in USA also! I drilled a hole in the side of mine and put an internal pickup in it! One thing that does suck and I don't understand about the source pan is why they made the drain plug lower than the pan itself!

I have a milodon rear sump on it now and It has hit a couple of times. they have a wider and not as deep roadrace pan now, I have seen it has nice trap doors.

When you change that one out, send me a pm, I'll chop 2" off the bottom and re-weld on a new plate. I'll give you $50.00 for it Beats paying $380. for a 6" deep pan. it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
