I like the sound of this idea. Now it's a matter of getting it off the drawing board. I know I've said this before but... The major cause of the Duratec oiling problems is the stock windage tray (upper baffle in Ford-speak). I've designed a solid solution to remedy it, but I need to drop my pan before I'm 100% certain of my design and can then proceed with fabrication. A welded up pan is really just a band aid solution. It does provide 1 significant advantage and that is increased capacity. Certainly pricey though.
