Hey guys. I'm doing a 6.8l swap in 96 gt. why? Just because I can.

Im trying to source the required oil for the swap and I'm having poor luck. Does anyone know where I'd be able to find one or at least the schematics for one?

Thanks guys

You mean the engine oil?

Will that v10 even fit? Damn 4.6l is tight enough.

My Bad I meant oil pan. Yeah it'll fit I've done the measurements already.

Canton used to make a pan (their p/n 15786) but I don't think they make it anymore.

If you can't find one on, say, eBay you may be stuck cutting and fabbing on the OE pan to make it clear/fit.

It's already been done. It's too heavy and pricey to make it worth it for the average guy. If you had the extra stuff laying around and wanted to do something different, it would be a fun project.

OP: I don't think this is a very popular swap to be done. I'd be willing to bet you will have to fabricate your own parts.

I spend enough money just modding my 2v 4.6l. I also spent plenty of time fabricating stuff to work. Hope you have a deep wallet or a lift in the backyard.
