windage tray/ big oil pan

[imblown-ru]

what are the advantages of the two? im replacing the factory oil pan and need to know what i should do. thanks guys

 

[bdcardinal]

windage tray helps keep oil off of the crank, which is a cause of parasatic hp loss.

the big pan allows for more oil capacity, and better cooling. really good for road racing.

 

[imblown-ru]

so both are probably worth it?

 

[bdcardinal]

ya, when i do my buildup i will be using both. as well as an accumulator probably.

 

[imblown-ru]

whats that?

 

[bdcardinal]

basically its a seperate storage tank thats plumbed into your oiling system. they come in 1, 2 and 3 quart sizes. what they do it hold pressurized oil and in the case of a massive oil pressure drop it exacuates the contents into your upper end and save the motor from oil starvation.

i just bought my canton windage tray for my build too, i got it for $40 bucks off ebay, but im still going to use the stock pan....

Every little bit helps. Ford used windage trays in the Cobra Rs and i believe cobras have them. I would highly suggest a bigger oil pan and high flow pump since most 4.6 failures come from a lack of oil

ford put a canton windage tray in the cobra R's, but the regular cobra's had the frpp windage tray which is a little different, my canton windage tray just arrived today, it is a very nice part

I was thinking about getting a larger oil pan myself with the future mods I have planned. I have a 99 GT and it only holds 5 qts.

dude wow, this thread is back from the dead.
