3L Oilpan

[JnCsvt]

Trying to figure out which Pan/pickup to use and when i search i find different answers

I have an 05' 3L sable engine dropping in my SVT

Which pan should i use(pickup used will be to match pan), I would like to just leave the stock pan on so i dont have to change anything, but will my y-pipe still fit or will it hit the pan? which is best to use?

Thanks in advance

the pan that came on the motor will work fine. just be sure to use the pickup that matches the pan.

on the taurus/sable motors i believe you have to drill to holes in the "wings" to bolt the tranny to. its not difficult just gotta do it. i know this is true with 01-03 taurus/sable engines dont know if they changed it at some point.

thats what i've read, but i also have read that the 2 bolts that wont work for the transmission, dont matter. Blackcoog has said he usually leaves the two bolts out and has had no issues

this is true. i am running 2 bolts down on my car with no issues so far (20K). i have different bolts not in but you see the point. id just drill them cause it only takes a few minutes. easy. but it is nothing to fret over.
