Does this mean it will be more than $21.95 now?

JDM Engineering Designed these oil pans just about a year ago now. To date we know of no other companys producing this style pan. So any you have ever seen on the internet or anywhere else was originally purchased through JDM Engineering.
Johnny Purchased his block through Accufab. John from Accufab ordered Johnny's Oil pan, Oil pump adapter, ARP Main studs, Windage tray, and oil pan gasket from JDM Engineering.
We have 17 of these aluminum GT block engines running now, we had 28 oil pans produced to date as well. Our Aluminum Ford GT Block program has been in swing for almost a full year now. In fact there are no blocks left through Ford untill the next batch is produced, release date is October. Right now we only have 12 blocks left in house.

More than half are in lightnings a few in other customer project cars.
All these engines that are in lightnings have made dyno numbers of around 700 HP to the tire and run in the mid 10's with extreme ease, no nitrous. For instance Don Justice's Truck which has made roughly 40 passes mid 10's in the last 2 months at FFW GA, FFW TX, and FFW LA. Notice each state is hot as hell this time of year! If this truck was in Cecil during the "Good ET" weather like fall or early spring, we are talking 10.20's easy. This truck is only running 17 psi boost and weighs 4300 w/ driver, not a potato chip truck there. But if the suspension and weight issues were addressed id say it would run 9's no bottle. Not to mention you can throw a set of street tires on his truck and drive it to california and back its so streetable.
