How did a milidon 30401 pan become a stock replacement?

Bigger, Deeper, and oil further from the crank. Can the person approving this stuff read a ruler, scales or digital calipers. Reading the vernier on a micrometer maybe out of the question. When was the last time the NHRA tools got checked against a National Standard? How many SBC oil pans are painted black?

Larry, not a good idea to POKE the Bear. When you find out the answer to your question, please find out how the 66 Chevy novas got a deep sump pan also ….

Reading a ruler?

Cost me an engine, because we didn't check it out. Turns out to be a much larger pan than 5 quarts. And it's in the approved parts list

That thing is so deep you will have to put 12 quarts or more in it to slow your ol 350 down. LOL
