Default need a new oil pan, what to buy??

So is there any difference on how easy or harder any curtain style pans go in.
I don't need a 7 quart pan, I don't track the car.
Any advice would be appreciated

thx

Just buy a stock one, have fun replacing it. It's not an easy task. Jack the motor up, drop the K member down.

thought that this would be tech, I was looking for the easiest pan to install, not opinions of what looks best.

Nope, the size is what it is. No real short cut for this job.

Yes unless yours has a low oil sending unit in the pan.

tech refers to a prob or issue one is having so to speak, not a suggestion on what parts are best to use...ie gen disc
