Oh yah.........and a $ price $. Or don't I want to ask......?
So, I would have to special order a Aviaid pan for my SPF? I've also been told that I need to take off my front sway bar to remove the pan. This project just keeps getting better.

Terry,
You don't need to remove your sway bar, just remove the 4 bolts that mount the sway bar to the frame and push it out of the way.
Your SPF should have the
oil temp sensor in the
oil filter housing which is the best place for it.
I would order a pan from Aviad or Armando and ask them to install the drain plug in the back of the sump instead of the front.
On a SPF, there is no 2nd crossmember between the pan and bell housing to get in the way like on an original or CSX 4000/4500/4700 series. If you don't want to wait for a custom order, the drain plug fitting is just a fine thread nut that a good fabrication or radiator shop could install in the pan. Have them remove and weld in a patch over the front plug hole. Fill the pan with hot (to simulate hot
oil) water and let it sit overnight to check for leaks.
Also, if you are not running a puke tank have them delete the tube for the puke tank so you won't have to worry about the best way to block it off.
BTW, I think I paid $680 for the Billet Fab pan with pick up.
