looking for oil pan
I am looking for a oil pan to put on my new motor before i install it.
I have been looking at Mildon oil pans but somewhat cofused on what will fit.
Also will a high volume oil pump help out with all the idleing we do here in Bush Alaska during the winter?
Thxs.

well it would help to know what this is going in or front or rear sump pan. If rear sump you can still purchase a new pan directly from ford with pickup tube included (and i think dipstick and tube too as I recall) for around $150

Fms-m-6675-a460 is the oil pan part number, and yes it comes with the gasket, dipstick and pickup tube
high volume oil pump only helps if you run bearing clearances on the big side... as long as your bearings are tight a standard volume pump is good... and its easier on your pump shaft and distributor

Okay here is what i'm looking for a oil pan with more capacity and if possible a high volume oil pump. Would the high volume oil pump help with the half hour to 1 hour idleing we do here in Bush Alaska? Thxs.

Most of our idling time comes in the winter when it can go down to -40 and colder with the windchill. The truck is a stock 1997 F350 4x4. We have to run ow30 oil to get the motors to turn over even with tank heaters. Also to get the tranny able to shift in that cold. Up here you do not want a oil cooler in winter.

my lincoln with a 460 starts fine in -40 even without the block heater plugged in, but thats carbureted. sometimes fuel injection is a pain. my probe wont start without a jump once it gets below 0. actually i havent had a carbureted vehicle that wouldnt start in the cold... but ive had 3 fuel injected ones that wouldnt.
anyways... if youre just worried about cold weather idling i wouldnt worry about it... just make sure youve got a good thermostat, and dont run the standard orange fram filter. any other filter is better than that one.
