Jason:

Which pan are you using on your engine? Is that a 'marine' pan - with a full sump?

I have a front sump, OEM style pan on my 460, and I'm looking for more capacity and better baffling, without creating ground clearance issues. A full sump pan seems the best option, and I've found a couple that seem like they may work.

Thanks in advance.
