Title: Will this BBC oil pan work for a jet boat?
Post by: ONE-A-DAY on June 29, 2014, 10:37:32 AM
My Daytona 19 has a stock oil pan, need to upgrade to higher volume pan.  Been looking around at Dooley's etc., new ones are north of $700.

Saw these 13 qt pans on JEGS for a reasonable price, any reason why it wouldn't work for a jetboat?

What makes you think it wouldn't work.

Typically these pans start out as a truck pan. a vdrive pan is too. Both the truck and vdrive pan would not work, at least in my boat.
the driveline angle was so severe, you'd destroy the h-bar, and that was having the deep pan(s) directly on the bottom of the boat and intake hosing. The crankshaft centerline was ~1" higher than the pump shaft centerline. (berk jc & 4 pt. mt. bbc, 21' eliminator day cruiser)
jacuzzi WJ was the same way, with a truck pan.
With a chevelle pan, I have roughly 1/2" between pan and intake.

A chevelle/corvette pan is shallower than these pans. a Mercruiser or vdrive has 3"-4" below the (truck/offshore/vdrive) pan, and would work fine with these drives. 

Find the depth of the pan, 7.5" (~7.75" w/pan gasket) worked for me.
an 8" (~8.25" w gasket) might work.

But then what do I know, I learned the hard way.

Check with Jim at Cyclone Speed & Marine.  He might have a good used available, and he'll be able to talk to you about proper fit.

I ran a truck pan for 5 seasons with no problems only reason I put a dan olsin pan on is cause I had it laying around and pulled my mill out to change my intake out orbit would still be running it

I just got an 11qt. pan from Summit. It was like $215 on clearance, they still have some. It's an 8" depth and that's my max with about 1/4" or so clearance left. I can send part # if u'd like.
