Should be it….

 

Suggest you might want to add that one piece gasket in the ad on the right, as it tends to make life easier!! A lot easier!!!

 

Yep, looks like the right part......does your 5.0 have the dipstick in the block, above the pan rail? I believe it should, and if so, you would be good to go. I used one of these pans on a 289 and made a provision for the dip stick on the side of the pan before installing it.

Thanks guys , yes did have the gasket in mind , not easy sourcing from the other side of the pond

 

Did that pan fit the shoebox with no modification of the crossmember? Just asking for future reference. I might need to do a swap some day.

 

Yes......with the correct front motor mounts......which can be fabricated or purchased.

If anyone needs it I have a brand new Ford Motorsports crate motor pan and pickup with the dipstick.
Will sell cheap. PM me. It is a double sump pan.

 

I had to cut a slot in the cross member to gain access to the front sump plug. The reason for a re-placement is mine has a leek due to corrosion.
The dip stick is in the side of the block
I have also been told a better fit is a bronco sump

The only thing you'll get with the Bronco pan is no plug in the front, that may benefit you?

 

Yes that is the pan you need along with the one piece gasket already outlined. Those pans were found on; Lincoln Town Cars, Crown Vics, Grand Marquis, Mustangs, and Capris. So there are a lot of sources for them, maybe some local in a junk yard.

 

I'm still baffled about a corrosion hole in an oil sump

 

Ford 7.3 diesel's were famous for it. Bad paint on the outside, usually above the cross member where it couldn't be seen until it started leaking.

 

Really? That's terrible. Maybe climate makes a difference?

 

My brothers back home from Sydney for 3 weeks in july British summer and he will moan he's cold always does ,
see my avatar car club badge thats a clue , 2-3 small pinholes leeks when stopped after a run and oil is thin
