I believe the Dooley (Rex Marine) pan that I'm running is about 8" or 8 1/2" deep in the rear, so you may want to take some measurements. If it fits depth-wise, it should work fine with your dad's mount. One thing I did find is that a stock starter comes perilously close to the pan. The bolt/nut that holds the band on the starter is on the pan side and will actually be in contact with it and could potentially wear a hole in the pan. I had to rearrange the band in such a way that the bolt/nut for the band was in a different spot. I didn't have to move it much, but it did need to be addressed.
I can't say how it'll fit If he's running a gear reduction starter. They appear to have a much larger mounting flange and it may make contact with the pan. I think Tyson (hackjob) is using this setup, maybe he could tell us?

My Glastron CV23 has a Berkeley jet. I am running a 429 SCJ with a Milodon 10 qt. pan with a rear pickup an built-in windage tray. It too has the trap doors and seems to be built ok for the price. I did have to remove the strap that runs horizontally across the hull to connect the bottom of the engine mounts. I built a new one from 2x5/16 stainless steel flat bar with a couple of bends on the end and welded it back in. After dropping the engine back in there is only about 5/16 of an inch between the pan and the strap. I added a remote filter because in stock location you couldn't remove the filter due to being too close to the stringer, so i just got a generic relocation kit and moved it.
Good luck,

I'm running a Milodon Marine 429/460 Jet-Drive pan, p/n 31365. Has an integral, dzused-in windage tray. Oil pan capacity is a generous 10 quarts plus filter(s). My motor holds 13 quarts with it's dual remote filter set-up.

OK, sounds like it could work. Thanks for the info.
Hey Malcolm, as far as I know there are 4 company's that make 460 jet-boat pans. Dooley, Milodon, Canton and Armondo's, the Milodon seems to be the best value, Flatlander racing has good pricing on them. Used ones seem hard to come by, I've been looking for a while myself.
Yeah, they are sure proud of those new ones!
i had to cut my front mounts a tad to make mine fit but now its no prob with the rail kit.. my front mounts ( out of the spectre were connected in the middle and it made it not fit so i cut the center section out and it was fine. and i thought that the motor would move and it didnt! so you dont have to worry about that. wink
