The Retro 5.0 short-block has been assembled with carefully chosen parts to balance the OEM theme.

We've achieved a good mix of staying true to how it came out of the factory, and upgrading the known weak points.

Choosing the oil pan for Project Retro 5.0 was a bit like Goldilocks — we wanted something factory-appearing, but better than stock.

This Milodon oil pan wasn't too much or too little, it was just right.
