5.7 questions please help

I went with a weldtech pan and I'm using the stock truck starter.


FYI:

Anyone thinking of using weldtechs oil pan. Unless he changed his design, any older abody with the older center link, the centerlink hits the oil pan on a hard rh parking lot turn. Mine developed a leek. I told him about it and he wasnt too concerned about it...told me to change my centerlink like it was nothing big or costly. Was very disappointed in his answer. I wound taking it off and spending $50.00 and having a local shop bevel and weld that area for clearance. I also wasnt impressed with the gasket flange. I had to clean off weld from all the bolt holes so the fastening would lie flat.....if I were to do it again....which I'm in the process of now to my 70 Charger...I would go with either the MP or Milidon stamped...or better yet..if you can...go with the factory... Just my $.02
