Oil pan selection?
« on: June 16, 2015, 08:08:59 AM »
I have a gen v 454 block, what oil pan do you guys recommend? 6qt/7qt 10qt? I'm sure the bigger the better to keep the oil temp down, but I would love to hear what you guys have to say? Thanks

I have the earlier version Mark IV 454 bored over .060, I have chosen the Dooley BBC marine pan that holds 10 quarts, but I only put in 9 quarts with a new Moroso oil filter. With that pan it gave me the option of running a mechanical Auto Meter gauge for oil temp. Under normal cruising at 3,000 RPM (no hot dogging) the oil temp will hang around 180* to 195*, if I stand on it hard making a pass, I see oil temp rise to 220* really fast, but it also will dissipate heat quickly too. I have run it hard making some high RPM passes goofing off or racing a  few people for fun, I have seen oil temp as high as 230*, but it will drop to 100* within an hour sitting in a cove. I believe a larger pan capacity for a boat is a good thing, especially for a jet boat application due to the engine always being under a load putting heat into the oil.

I run the same pan and same amount of oil just a different filter. I have not had any troubles with this setup. I'm over 800 hp and close to 1100 on Nos.

I feel bad I think we are thread jacking. This guy is probably saying the guy with the aluminum pan is a wacko.

I'll bring 'em, they're really cool black plastic and will sink when fuel is introduced into the float bowls so they are self adjusting and you will always have plenty of gas in there !!!
Cash only, no refunds.

Sorry for the thread jack...
