I imagine the 3rd gen oil pan is also rather handy for the
same reason.

How so? I welded up a pan out of aluminum for weight savings reasons. 
The original was stamped steel, with an oil level sensor incorporated, 
and weighed ~6 lbs. The new aluminum one weighs a little over 3 lbs.

Well it is flat up under the rear end house unlike the 2nd gen.
Providing you don't mind the weight.
