Default Aftermarket oil pan options?

Looking for something other than stock, a direct replacement. Prefer something I can weld a return drain on, for a turbo setup. Going on an 01 f body.

Doesn't that require relocating the oil filter?

Yes all the moroso stuff does. It is worth it in oil control.

I like having the filter where I can change it without jacking the car up. plus you can get a bigger filter on the engine

^Also agreed! Get a remote filter mount with the 13/16"-16 spin-on filter thread and you'll be able to use the original small block/big block bigger sized quart filter. Keep all your lines -10 sized for less restriction. The Aeroquip AQP socketless hose is light and doesn't need expensive fittings.

I run the stainless braided on fuel and oil lines where there in a chance for rubbing. Even a remote chance.

My water lines are black braided.

On a daily driver car I like the holley pans

I am interested in this as well. This moroso setup sounds kind of expensive.

What are some options for a budget replacement? I just got done finding stock LS1 fbody oil pans FS on here for like $230. Wtf is that?
