If your 5.0 is in a fox mustang you already have a dual sump pan. The hole in the side is the one most likly for your low oil sensor. The dipstick goes into the block not the pan.

Don't waste your time on a chrome pan. Chrome holds in alot more heat. Part of the performance game is to get rid of access heat because it is bad for the engine. If you want a pretty oil pan just wait until you have a reason to pull the motor and just paint it.
