I bought a freddy oil pan THEY SUCK leak out of casting well im pulling it off again and i read somewhere that changing the red top oil pick up to a black top is better, or even making the hole bigger. does it even matter, im running stock bottom end , built head. Thanks

I got a blacktop oil pickup for my Redtop. It has a better design.

I got mine for ~$20 from thenismoshop.com

Well, the ends of the pickup tubes between the Redtop and Blacktop are different, too. The Blacktop end is larger. Always a good idea to prevent oil starvation.
