That is why I didn’t use it. I adapted a 1988 13B pan to the engine mounting plate . seems like I had to drill 3 holes and install helicoils to make it work. Takes 8 quarts to fill it up from dry. No leaks so far.

Ernest,

Renesis pan is very shallow..........would be difficult to get much oil capacity

without adding a deeper sump..............

Well, maybe not. I just checked and it is bent on the bottom. It does have the oil level sensor in it tho…

What I have began life as an FC pan. I cut off the flange, and layed up a fiberglass sump. It has a slow leak at the rear, right where the glass meets the flange. You know, where it was difficult to test. If I could fit the Renesis pan, I think I would. Except for the bolt pattern, I think it would slide right in with out requiring in further modifications.

Kelly, do you have any FC pans?
