Thumbs up I am going with the stock Ford pan

That came with my 514 SVO.
I could not find a one piece *COBRA* marked aluminum pan for the 460. I was told by a number of suppliers that they are many months away from restock.

I looked around, researched, and the big problems with the readily available welded aftermarket pans is, potentially:

1) The welds can and do leak sometimes, scary when and if they do!

2) Fitting problems with some aftermarket pans, around the rear "cup", etc...

Both problems have been reported right here on the club. It's a major pain if these things happen, especially if you have a really nice car and motor, etc...

My recommendation is the stock pan with an Accusump, I will be using the largest one that will fit (I think 3 quarts)

OH, and one more thing: If you want increased cooling and capacity, add an oil cooler !
