Oil Pan

I've got 295&325 R888s, along with coil overs and some BMR sway bars, so I'm thinking that a race oil pan is in my future. Is an oil pan upgrade pretty straight forward thing to swap? My google-fu is weak. Which oil pan is good for a 2016 Coyote?

Looks like a pretty painless job, lower the k member or raise the engine a bit and pull the pan.

I would either do the canton road race pan or the GT350.

I did the canton road race pan, no issues.

From what I've read, the GT350 oil pan is composite, and doesn't transmit heat very well. I'm not sure that's 100% true, but it might be a consideration to the OP.

How many quarts does that hold?

That's probably true, but I can't imagine there's alot of heat transferred from the oil to the pan itself. Plus that's what an oil cooler is for.

I figure if it's good enough for the Shelby, it's good enough for the GT also. Plus it holds and extra 2 quarts which is always good.

What's the purpose of doing this?

Gives the illusion that your manly parts are bigger.

I have been curious if anyone has converted to dry sump. If it is somewhat straight forward, I'd think a dry sump would be better for the guys looking for better oil solutions.

Sure you can, you just have to leave two wheels in the bushes.

Pull enough sideways g in a long corner and your oil pickup can starve making for much sadness. I doubt I'll manage that without downforce, but my porsche buddy is convinced that I'm going to blow my engine with just sticky R888s, even at button willow or willow springs. I may also just be enjoying mucking about with my car far too much.

I went with the road race "rear sump" and matching pickup.
