[QUOTE="03 DSG Snake, post: 11277506, member: 6485"] Looking into it a little more, it seems doing a windage tray and the pan from the bottom of the motor are going to be a pain in the ass. Especially trying to get it all sealed. Perhaps I will skip it when swapping the K. edit: This actually looks like an interesting setup: [IMG]http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/product_images/m/307/Ford_4.6L_Modular_Engine_Crankshaft_Scaper__58218_zoom.jpg[/IMG] [I]Livernois Motorsports is proud to introduce another exciting new product for the Ford 4.6 Modular engine.
