why wont a 5.0 oilpan work for the 351W foxbody swap work? people tell me that it wont work...but they cant tell my why.

 

Stock 5.0 is front sump with the 351w it uses rear sump.

 

so i have to use a rear sump in the stang? or front and rear sump like the swap oil pan? the oilpan i got is a rear....why wont that fit?

 

I dont mean to be a *** but, you are WRONG.You areposting bad info.Please stop before someone screws up there project.

Thanks Matt

 

Now to give you correct infothey are both front sumps how esle is thedist. going to drive the oil pump.Now the reason why a 302 pan wont work on your windsor is that a 302 has smaller mains then a 351 which has 3 inch mains so the pan on a 302 is not deep enough at the the middle and will not fit over the main caps.Alsothe oil pump on a 351 is a bit taller then a pump for a 302.So theres the reason you need a conversion pan for for 351 swap.Which has a part number just recently posted below in another post about this, an there I posted a picture.

Thank you

Matt

P.S. I reposted the pictures I aslo posted a pic off the main bearings and you can see how big they are compared to a 302.

 

i was just gunna say that

 

awesome. thanks everyone. ordering the oilpan tonight.

 

my bad **** you someone told me that so i was passin it on so go track his *** down.
