Hey guys,

I'm prepping my 99 4.6L SOHC for install. My primary question is around the oil pan. The manual suggests buying a shallow oil pan from Morosso or Canton. The OEM oil pan seems to be about the same depth as the Morosso pans I'm looking at. Are there other reasons for upgrading the pan? Any advice or part numbers?

Regarding engine dressing, I'm doing the following: (the engine already has aluminum pulley kit and BBK 78mm throttle body)
- Aluminum valve covers (not many options out there) (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/t...view/make/ford)
- Cold air induction system from BBK . (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bbk-1718)
- New coil pack (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/msd-82428)

I would love to replace the plastic intake manifold, but not finding anything that doesn't compromise low RPM power for more HP on the higher RPM's. Not what I want - I'm looking for low end torque/power.

Curious what others have done for performance and dressing components on their 4.6L SOHC's.

Thanks,

Steve
