hey guys..got a friend whos project is puttin a carb 302 outta his dads old mustang into a 98 ranger....problem is the oil pan is wrong i guess and that the sump on the pan now is in the front..and he needs it to be the type that are on our cars..the deeper in the back...he says someone told him that all hes gotta do is swap the oil pickup from the front to the back on his motor now and then use a foxbody pan...i didnt know if this sounded right of if it would even be possible..so i thought id see what u guys had to say...thanks for the help

you need a fox rear sump pan, pick upand timing cover cause the dipstick will be in the timing cover on the 68 and you will need to modify pan on fox to accept a dipstick as on a fox block the provision is in the block..soon I will be swapping in a 302 to my bronco II 4x4 which is the same swap for a ranger basically...visit the rangerstation.com for complete details on swap and or james duff.com for swap info and questions.. they have a whole section devoted to this

i was under the impression you just had to use the pan. someone correct me if i am wrong

^^^^^^you don't have to use the timing cover but you'll have to remove the tube and plug it off........and 85 mustang motor mounts/foxes oneswill work

The early Fox's had a pan with a oil pan dip stick in them if you can find one I did have one around here some where.

SN-95 pan will work too, the dipstick is in the pan. What trans do you plan to use? Remember, the older engines use a 28oz balance, not 50oz like the fox cars.
