Might want to compare your 2.5 liter oil pan to a 3 liter oil pan out of a 2003 escape.....Thats the one i used for my 3 liter hybrid....Im running the same set up as the motor you blew, only i kept the stock 3 liter pistons (only 5000 miles) and bearings....And i used the 3 liter oil pan. ... I ahve 17000 miles on this motor now.. .All are HARD miles...no problems.




Ditto. Only I have closer to 21,000 miles. All stock block parts, 3L pan, 2.5L SVT heads, no problems, driven HARD.
