With a deep sump, it's a lot easier to conduct an oil change. You drive down a bumpy road, knock a hole in the pan, viola! oil's drained. Sealing it afterwards, well that's another story.

It's probably a waste of money. I'm running a GT40 engine like you will be running and I'm not sloshing all the oil away from the pickup on a stock 5 quart pan

It's still a 302. It IS a waste of money for your app. MAYBE run a windage tray but other than that, change your oil. Why spend that kind of money and hassle for no good reason at all.

I was looking at them,but not really leaning either way.I've actually never had issues with the stock pan,and the pan on the engine (stock) is brand new.I was just "wondering".I can't do it now anyway,I have to get an aftermarket mass air meter for my 24# injectors.Thanks for the comments.

Hey I know like nothing about mass air flow, why would I get/need them? I wanna be able to run with the big dogs,performance-wise, and im on a small-medium budget (Meaning every almost every dollar i make goes into the car.)

That post had nothing to do with oil pans,but......If you're doing an H.O upgrade,Mass Air really isn't necessary.If you decide to install a biger than H.O cam,it's probably a good idea to do the conversion.For you,starting out,do the basic H.O conversion and get familiar with the car and engine,then worry about "running with the bog dogs" later.

I gotta stop skimming through threads and actually read them. geesh. Anyway, the money could probably be better spent else ware. I'd only consider a new aftermarket pan if i was rebuilding and i had the engine out already.
