I purchased a deep sump oil pan from Steve (Badass355ciz28) about 10 months ago now. I didn't think this warranted giving him negative feedback (especially so far after the fact), but I wanted to let you all know what I'm dissatisfied with. The link to the thread for the oil pan is below.

In the first line Steve states that it's a 7qt Moroso oil pan "with kickout". This oil pan does not have kickouts on either side. This is just a straight deep sump pan. He did state in a reply to someone else that the model number is 20160, which clearly shows on Summit Racing or Jegs that it's not a kicked-out oil pan, so I could have saved myself $125 had I checked it out instead of taking his word.

Now the pan is in great shape, and it might as well be brand new as far as I can tell. BUT, he was very unclear as far as how much he used it. You'll notice this in the thread I linked to below.

Also, I want to mention that, once he had received money for the pan and shipped it to me, he told me that the pan had been drilled and tapped for an oil return line for a turbo / supercharger. At the time, I thought I'd be using this pan for an N/A motor, so I was concerned of leaks if the work wasn't done properly. Now it turns out I can't even use the pan, and I can't test the fitting to tell prospective buyers that I personally know it does not leak.

Once again, this is regarding Steven Pierce Jr. AKA Badass355ciz28 (email is Badass355ciz28@aol.com). Thanks, and good luck.
