69mach1build 24 Report post Posted January 31, 2018 I have a stock manual drag link setup on my stang and a 7 quart rear sump aftermarket oil pan on my 351 Windsor. I went to install the motor yesterday and the clearance isn't even close, the oil pan sits ontop of the drag link and would need to be moved ~5 inches further toward the firewall to be able to fit. Anyone have any good suggestions for me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangs-R-me 124 Report post Posted January 31, 2018 I would guess the problem is that a Small Block Ford in a classic Mustang needs a FRONT SUMP PAN !! Doug 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 800 Report post Posted January 31, 2018 I have a Milodon 7 Qt front sump oil pan with no issues. There is really no way to use a rear sump pan on the early Mustangs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
