I dont think there is a concern with it... I have seen many cars with a factory aluminum oil pan, but never one with a factory aluminum drain plug.

Color me interested in the magnetic plug.

Noob question. Would it be possible to incorporate your pan with a JWT spacer?

It shouldn't be an issue at the temps your oil gets to.

Yes there is no reason you couldnt do that. Since its just a spacer, you could even stack a few of them if you wanted to!

I would have ground clearance concerns personally.

Lol yeah and lowered cars be like "ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD!!!"

I actually have thought about getting a quote on laser cutting a 3/8 spacer just to get that extra half quart some people might want.

I'm listening...

If we can get a handful of you guys bold enough to say you don't care about ground clearance and you'd give it up for more capacity, I'll have them made.

No worse than my current setup or anyone else running the wolf spacer.

I could go either way. It's definitely not something I would drop the pan to do but I'd seriously consider as one install

I have the JWT spacer currently and have no ground clearance issues. So if the new spacer would lead to same clearance I'm all in for a little extra capacity. Would you have to make a different spacer for the oil pump pickup as well?

as long as it clears my zspeed under tray then im all for it

Yes we could make a spacer that leads to that clearance if that is what you guys want. I will say if we can get at least 8 people in, I will figure out how to have them made.

I wouldnt personally recommend running the pan any lower than it is, but the decision is yours! Consider that if an aluminum pan is struck, it will not bend like a steel pan, it will just break wide open. I feel it is safer to keep the pan above the crossmember, hence its native design.

As for a pickup spacer, yes and no. Adding displacement vertically never requires additional pickup spacing because the oil level is set from the top of the engine by the dipstick. However, if you have room to go down, generally you do to take advantage of further reduction in oil starvation.

So my question wasn't half retarded lol. I was just curious. I have a JWT spacer sitting in my room and I really want this oil pan. I plan on doing a stroker motor and would love to have any additional oil cooling I could get

The spacer and it's added displacement won't offer any oil cooling properties, it is merely an oil temperature buffer. The extra displacement will cause it to take a moment longer for oil temperature to climb. To genuinely combat oil temperature directly, there is no substitute for a proper oil cooler.
