Also apparently because supposedly most have heard about this problem for many years everyone supposed to know about it the first time they go by an 8 quart oil pan. I posted it here on the forum that I was going to get it and no flood of information came in telling me to stop. I feel like I'm at least trying to do my part..

No reason to tell you to stop,this is hotroding and most of us are used to how it is,if it says it fits on the box(the part probably fits the box atleast) it will fit after you cut it to fit,bend to suit,paint to mach and gap to specification. and yeah sometimes you need to weld and machine things alitle aswell,its not all fun and games,but it is what it is.
The notch in the K-frame has been repeatedly shown on these forums over the years and realy alot of qustions are brought up so often that most ignore answering them again due to how many times the answers has already been brought up,
IF you need a very simplified example,look at most any random thread in the exhaust forum the answers are almost always Dougs,TTI,yeah go ahead and get that X-Pipe unless you like a different sound and yup those one size fits all headers will help you learn the distance to that speedbump with great precision and will probably have a hot relationship to your plugwires. oh and even with the expensive headers you may need to shim the driver side enginemount from time to time.Oh and Flowmasters are not that great at producing power and will probably create a bunch of resonance.

Not here to argue,its just that a few of these questions have been answered so many times that people have stoped answering certain questions. :)

Just oversimplifying what has been repeted over the years. for what its worth those dougs has a whole lot better odds on having a nice longdistance relationship with a milodon pan than headers that go under the steeringcenterlink,and i can appreciate the sound of flowmasters i dont mind any of those parts. what makes you happy makes you happy,as i wrote i just brought up some things that has been repeated.

Hahaha Thanks I was just joking anyway, I'm learning a lot if this stuff as I go. Its true some of these things are beyond frustrating but, the solution's guys come up with are worth it. I'm proud of the stuff I've made work and I'm impressed with the talent and experience found on this site.

Quite honestly I don't think there's one part on my car that isn't custom. And this milodon pan has got to be the biggest POS of them all! I didn't know it going into it, but I'm experienced now. I've made all kinds of stuff fit. Really it just seems like you keep reiterating that I should have known not to buy it or I should have known it was going to cause a crap ton of problems. I totally grip one thing that you get will cost you two more things I've been through this a million times. Going through it right now as a matter of fact. yeah rear-end gears or two hundred bucks but it's $200 to have them put in and don't forget having to re bleed the brakes and don't forget having to reseal and refill the rear end.. I guess what I'm trying to say is you're preaching to the choir and I learned my lesson on the milodon pan that I guess I should have known I was going to have to cut my K frame which was a real picture of them all. But to have it leak from the factory after all that money!? Really I was supposed to know that was going to happen? I bought a lot of expensive stuff over the years and when I put out the good money usually it's a good product. In my eyes milodon gets a big fail on this one.
