I need to get a new oil pan for a ford 460 jet boat. Anyone know where I can get one. I'd like used, but I'll go new if I have to. Any suggestions...

Are you using a stock one ? That is a baaaadddd idea on a jet boat. Get the Dooley pan with baffles and rear pickup, you will save yourself a whole lot of problems.

I know for sure the only pans I've ever used in my boats are 8 quart rear pick up. Good reminder for those that don't know.

I have the stock pan in now, and am having serious oil pressure problems. I put in a high flow pump, but it didn't work. I'm going to be pulling the pan and replacing the pump anyway so I figured I would change the pan as well. I should have known better than to put the stock one on, but I was in a hurry to get it done. I really appreciate all the help guys...

i run a dooley on my dragboat and its been great, but check out dan olsen first. my roady jus got a nice alum pan from olsen for his brad anderson 5 / tfx engine, (and parts for those things are usually very spendy), for about the same price as a dooley. just a thought, you might get more pan for your money.... but like i said the dooley is a great pan, and i have no complaints about it...... nelson#109

It has the truck pan in it now, and I can't hold oil pressure. I figured if I am going to pull the motor anyway, I'd just assume do it right. I'm hoping someone has a used one they want to get rid of...

I put in a high flow pump, but it didn't work.
Are you sure it wasn't a defective new pump? It's been known to happen. Also, since your going to pull the engine, check your bearing clearances. If you're too loose, that could be a reason for the drop. Or, if you have electric gauges, might be a problem at either end.
My BBF starts cold with 80psi at idle, then drops to 60 when running at temp ( 160 t-stat kit ). I thought my factory original gauge was going out when it kept pegging at 80 until I installed a 100psi mech under the sending unit and found out.
Oh, and it has the original pan Indmar used 27 yrs ago, no problems.

I just want to add my 2 cents... I just put a lot of money into my 460 (Intake, cam, chain, carb, rockers, springs) That I dug a little deeper and bought the Jet boat oil pan . It fits great with baffles and a windage tray. If you like your motor, protect it.

I figure if I am pulling the motor, I might as well do everything I can to help protect it. I will check the clearences as well while I'm in there. I never thought about that. I will be changing the oil pump while I'm in there. I figure that there is no way this drop in pressure is because of not running a baffled oil pan, but I want to do that for the long run. The oil pressure problem I believe has something to do w. the pump or pick up. We'll see once I get in there. For now, it's just puttin around for me, which isn't such a big deal b/c as long as I'm on the water I'm happy...
