Music to my ears! A life without cringing every time I approach a speed bump!

Couple of other questions. My current pan has a threaded hole for the temp sensor on the DS of the pan and a fitting to accommodate the dipstick at the top of the pan on the PS. I didn't see any of these features on the Kevko pan. Hmmm. Recommendations?

Also, will I need to change the pick up with a standard pan?

Sometime after this picture, I drilled and tapped this hole for a NPT fitting. Then I used a Lokar flexible dipstick. It looked better, and never leaked.
