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

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.
