Which oil pan?
I'm going through a 302 for my 94f150 4x4 and I need to put a new pan on it. Rock Auto lists 3 different brands and I'm wondering which one would be my best choice.
Spectra Premium-$59.79
ATP- $59.99
Dorman- $75.99
Is there actually a difference in quality between pans or should I just go with the one that costs the least? I already have the good Ford gasket and a new oil pump, but I need to get a pickup too. Rock Auto only lists a Sealed Power pickup for $22.79. Should that one be ok for any of the pans they have. All three pans are supposed to be the same as the original as far as shape goes.

Well, I ended up ordering the Dorman oil pan. I'm not sure if its any better than the other two, but it was in stock in the same location as the other parts that I needed to order were, so its the one I ordered. If I would have ordered either of the two others, they were in a different warehouse than the other parts I wanted, so they were going to add more onto shipping, so it was pretty much a wash on the final price of my order.
