Technical 40 Ford Coupe w/302

Has anyone run a 302 in a 35-40 Ford and used a front sump pan? It looks like it would only need to be set back about 5-6".

 

no... but I scratched this in case it helps...
.
I see a modern, double hump, new, oil pan for $60 free shipping

 

I know that a SBC will drop right in.....

 

What's wrong with keeping a ford in a ford???

 

Small block Chevy drops into mostly everything.

 

Oh, I see it's ground hog day again.

 

Fords are longer engines.IF you need to recess the fire wall to make it fit its at the cost of leg room.There are water pump options to shorten them.

 

I have a new Ford Motorsports pan and pickup tube you can have for 20 bucks and the freight.
PM me if interested.

 

It looks like it would only need to be set back about 5-6".

Only set back 5 or 6 inches ?
Tape a couple of 2x4's to your pedals & see if your feet will fit between the seat & the pedal.

 

Do Not Let The Pan Rule The Swap...Cut The Pan To Conform With The Cross Member..

 

And how exactly does this answer the OP's question about the fitting of a Ford engine?

 

The block I have is early, no dipstick hole in the block. The early rear sump kits run $250.

The body is a shell on a cart at the moment, it's getting channeled to the bottom of the frame. If I have to I can move the seat back.

 

Not if it has a dipstick hole in the pan like the I have .

 

Nothing is wrong with keeping a Ford in a Ford especially if you keep the Ford it came with in the Ford. Otherwise it’s a royal pain in the butt.

No Ford overhead valve V8 Ford engine is easy to put into an early Ford V8 car. Some are downright difficult.
Been there and I have the T shirt.

Remember Ford always had a better idea and used them all.
