Big Block Oil Pans...

$500 for a pan/pick-up?.......we used the stock 440 pan, deepened it with a 2" strip welded into it (cost $0) then used a single line Milodon external system that worked well at 7300rpm.(race car only)....had enough ground clearance even with low profile front tyres (f/wells), would rather spend $500 on external oiling then a flash sump.....or you could lengthen the internal pick-up?...save $$$'s.
