Hi,
Are the oil pans on the crown vics and MGMs the same as on the Marauders? Need to swap out the oil pan on my 04 cobra engine and would like to just use another oil pan rather than wait to pull my marauder engine.
Also, are the harmonic balancers the same as with the above vehicles? EDIT: also, if one from a mach 1 or a lincoln aviator would work?
Thank you for your help.

Oil pans and harmonic balancers are different from Cobra Mustangs to MMs.

You can use the balancer off of a Mach1, not sure about the Aviator, most likely though. Be careful with oil pans, they aren't interchangeable in most cases. MGM and CVs may be similar because of the crossmember being the same.

Ok. Thanks.
I would have to (like to) think the oil pans are the same as CVs or MGMs because it is the same platform. Does anyone have part numbers to compate a CV/MGM oil pan to a marauder oil pan?

Per http://www.car-part.com (http://www.car-part.com)
The 2003-2010 Crown vic/marquis and the 2003-2008 Lincoln Town car use the same Oil pan as a Marauder.
They list the Harmonic balancer as being the same from a 2003/2004 Aviator and the 2003/2004 DOHC 4.6 Mustang.
If the oil pans were different, wouldnt people doing the Aluminators have to change pans?

You DO have to change the oil pan with an Aluminator swap. HAVE TO! Ask me how I know... Everyone HAS been changing them out...

I hadnt heard that (or overlooked it) in the Aluminator threads I read.
But you gotta trust the man thats been there!
Thanks.
