Default looking for a transmission pan with a drain plug

I tried to order the Motorcraft pan but it was out of stock and no backorder was available.
I found these guys on EBay LPW Racing
https://www.lpwracing.com/Trans_Pans...sion_Pans.html

Anyone used them before? The price on the pan is pretty good compared to others

I posted a thread a while back asking a couple of questions about the Mag-Hytec double deep pan. I believe there were 2 people that chimed in about the LPW one and they said they never had any issues with it. They said it worked great. Hopefully they chime in to this thread and say something about it.

I ordered the Ford pan from AutoNation Ford White Bear Lake on fordparts.com. They said the pans are on backorder until the end of May.

Someone here did a write up on putting a drain plug on the stock pan. Much less expensive than replacing the whole pan.

I have one of these coming from Dorman. Inexpensive and plan to adapt the drain plug for temp sensor.

Honestly i did the same thing to the trans pan that i did with both differentials. drilled and tapped a 3/8" hole and installed a plug. Have never had any trouble with any of them.
