Is anybody running lo-profile oil pans in their third-gen? Which one is the best and/or cheapest?
I'm thinking Milodon 8.5" deep 6 quart, their "Diamond Stripper" windage tray and shorter pick-up.

I just bought a moroso 7L pan, it is a kick out pan so gound
clearance stays the same. $192.00 at best buy

good choice, ill be running a similar pan 7 qt kicked out sump with scraper/ and windage tray, deep sumped by moroso. i reccomend their product, but milodon is good too, if ground clearance is a really big issure, id look on the sites, they have the dimensions listed, and just look for the lowest profile one that would best suit your needs :)

Yeah, my current pan is pretty mangled from getting bottomed out, so clearance is a big issue. The Milodon one I'm looking at is 250 plus 130 for the windage tray. I found a Moroso one designed specifically for 3rd gens, but the only price I can find is 150 American from Summit. I hate ordering outa the states though.

Also, is anybody running aftermarket oil coolers and/or relocated oil filter(s)? If so how did you plumb them, what type of hoses/tubing?

i wouldnt worry about oil cooling, especially with the added quartage. unless your planning on 600hp or something ;D
