Since a lot of people with the FS-DE engine have been having oil starvation problems, Beau has removed the oil pan from his spare engine and is designing a new 5qt pan to go into production in a few weeks. If anyone is interested in it, please subscribe to this thread so that I can handle your questions and any comments you have. If you are able to take pictures of an aftermarket header that you are concerned with clearance, please post that too.
 
I assume it will clear the stock exhaust (which means it clears most downpipes and headers. . .), right?

Will this have baffles or just be bigger?
 
AWR is supposed to be making a baffled pan, but their price estimate was $400. :eek: How does this compare to that & how much will it cost?
 
As long as it clears my ION s-pipe/downpipe I would be interested. It's a 3" pipe with a flange on the end that sits between the transmission and the oil pan.
 
Well, you can't compare it yet because neither companies hace a finished product. MAM's oil pan will be aluminum and the pricing is always competitive; that's just how Beau does things...

The pan will have trap doors and will not be any lower than now.
Right-o. Depth was my question. *subscribed*
Thanks for taking the initiative. Auto-x needs this.
