[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 13772433, member: 20202"] Troy Not sure how much larger the throws and counter weights are on the 5.8 crank compared to the 4.6 but it is .300" at a very minimum. The 4.6 crank won't snuggle up as close to the tray but is will still keep the oil off the rotating assembly so I would not be overly concerned here. I wonder if Ford makes this style tray for the Aluminator? That might be a better option if it exists. Out of curiosity I pulled both the stock Cobra and the Canton pan and put them side-by-side and thinking about possible clearance issues and realized doing this with the Trinity pan you should immediately identify with 75% certainty if your going to have any clearance problems with the K-member and the steering rack. [ATTACH=full]535384[/ATTACH] Line-up the Trinity pan along side a 4.6 pan then look across the side profiles of both pans to see if the 5.8 pan exceeds the profile of the Cobra pan. You can use some clay in the bottom of the sump to determine how far the pick-up is off the floor of the pan which should be 3/8 - 1/2" by assembling the pan with the pick-up installed measuring the impression left in the clay. Looks like your breaking new ground here should be interesting :rockon: [/QUOTE]
