RogerC 136 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 I believe you have to convert your engine to a rear sump setup. Contact Heidts. On a side note, I talked to them today at the HR Power Tour here in Dayton about another issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torino420 10 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 yeah you cannot use the original front sump pan when doing the mustang II conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccobra70 10 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 sorry guys i guess i wasnt to technical in my explanation, I know it uses a rear sump oil pan but when you do that you that there is still a smaller hump in the front for the pump to set in there, so you cant get a true rear sump only pan. I really need someone that has done this same setup to know what they did to fix the prob. by the way I contacted heidts and they said to put a dry sump oiling system on it , but im not doing that ! thanks guys for the imput colby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
royclore 10 Report post Posted June 12, 2009 I don't know if this helps but when I was thinking about doing this I called the rod & custom motorsports shop. They are the only one that had a conversion that would work with a Cleveland. They sell several pans for a 351W too. One is a Canton pan. You might want to look there. http://www.rcmotorsports.net/5895_rod___custom.pdf Roy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccobra70 10 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 roy thanks but,,, I called this guy and he busted out laughing, he used to be a heidts dealer then started making his own stuff which his may be better but, not what i have (yea of course I would have not gone this route if i would have known) but after he was done bashing them he said he had no answers to help me or he would have ,so Im back to the drawing board!!
