Does anyone know of a source for a 7 quart oil pan that will work for a stock 302 Ford block? Prefer one with baffles like inside a Shelby pan. The extra capacity is needed due to the higher performance engine being built & the Mellings hi output oil pump.

I used a Moroso on my Mustang, but I doubt it would work on a Miata.

So, what pan did you use on your 5.0 Miata? Any oiling problems? Do you track the car or drive it on the street?

I used the pan from Monster Miata (a modified stock pan) & a standard volume oil pump. Street driven with no oiling issues. If you wanted extra oil volume, you could add an oil cooler.

Thanks for the suggestion on the oil cooler. I hadn't considered that but it might just provide enough extra to do the job!
