We're talking Escape pan, right? If so, yup. It bolted up to my 2.5 w/stock windage tray just fine- of course, when I saw the windage tray was updated, I changed it out, too (also a straight bolt-in). On the 3L, there should be no difference- especially if you do the windage tray, too.
I *think* I remember the posts you're referring to. IIRC, that was the YZxxxxxx oil pan. The one I have (and pictured above) is a more recent update (note the built-in gasket)- maybe one of the revisions was to make sure it fit all duratecs w/out modification.
Does anyone have a pic of the YZ oil pan for comparo?
Of course I could be just talking out of my arse as I am often wrong on these things....
