Preferred Oil Pan....

....For My Application.

Finally began assembly of my 521 and just noticed on the stock pan that the mount surface for the drain plug is cockeyed so sealing will be a problem.
Can you guys recommend a stock type or maybe something a little tricker than stock?
This engine is going in my '74 Cougar street car so will need a front sump. RPMs will never exceed 6000 and probably will rarely see that.

Kind of got turned off from Milodon. Ordered one for a 5.0 I built several years ago and it was warped from new.

Thanks.

My new Moroso pan had a slight wrop to it but after installing it it sealed fine the instructions even said it might have a wrop from the welding. It also said after is run for awhile and when it is removed it should be straight. It was a pain to install but I will be pulling it before long to freshen up the engine then we see if it is straight

Whoever manufactures a stock type pan with a simple horizontal baffle like a CJ pan had, will be fine.

I never did get that Milodon to seal correctly. Always had a weep at one of the corners.
