for the price I think you could modify your stock oil pan to something a bit better , but many people would rather avoid the work and buy parts off the shelf, and a 8" deep 7 quart oil pan that fits a one piece oil rear seal (1991-1995) BBC has its place

CHEVROLET
Beginning Year:
1991
Ending Year:
1995
Engine Type:
V8
Engine Size:
7.4L/454

I don’t care for kickout style oil pans because they can make oil filter removal difficult/messy when using headers and also make it difficult if not impossible to use larger diameter filters (System 1 for example) or longer filters. My $0.02…

Yes those are frequently all valid concerns but in this particular case ,this won't be an issue.
I just thought Id point out that larger capacity BBC oil pans are available that are not exorbitantly priced,
I've seen pans for those engines priced several hundred dollars higher.

now if you have fabrication/measuring /welding skills obviously you have the option of welding up a custom oil pan, and while going that route may or may not be cheaper I've found even skilled engine swappers, would prefer an off the shelf pan if ones available that meets the needs.

The question comes up rather frequently when I suggest buying or modifying oil pans as to "WHY BOTHER?" well its simply the fact that most stock oil pans were designed simply to be the cheapest to manufacture component that would function on an engine that would rarely be spinning over 3500rpm...

Your right, it's a good, reasonably priced oil pan with some nice features. Low profile too.

It just would not work in my application for what I needed from an oil pan. : /
