Slap me if this is old news, but this fixes what problem, exactly? =engine from blowing up when you are taking hard right turns and loose oil pressure due to design. Very common 2.5L duratech design flaw.

...BUT if it were oil starvation that caused spun bearings 'due to design' then an engine would have it 'from new'....This is a progressive thing...most engines spin rod ends between 65-85,000 miles...if it had 'bad lube'/bad pan/oil retained in heads etc etc it would have been like that FROM NEW!....It is not my opinion that the spun bearings are caused by lube at all....Using all the pan/pickup/dipstick & tube/windage baffle 'as is' on a 3.0 converion is the best way to go.....but again the oil issue would be there 'from new'.....
