351w conversion oil pan?

Postby cpldavis37 » Tue Apr 25, 2017 2:50 pm

I was cleaning up parts when I noticed that my 351 pan out of the f250 is rusted badly. What is the best pan to use? I have seen the ones from WH and Duff. Are those the best way to go? I also found this from jegs. It looks very similar to the WH and Duff setups.

What is everyone else running?

That's the pan I have. The only complaint thing I have had any issue with was the Bronco Hut exhaust wouldn't fit without modification because the crossover pipe for that kit was designed to tuck up behind the stock 302 pan. Other than that, it's a nice pan.

I a man using pan from 96 Bronco with 351.

You can get it from Orielly's for like 70 bucks.

Requires a little love tap to one corner for clearance to front axle.

I've got a spare brand new 351 oil pan from a 1991 Crown vic. I have $50 into it. Won't fit my application for some reason (not deep enough), but perhaps I could take some measurements if you are interested.

If not, check rockauto.com for replacement pans. Some pretty good deals there.

I ordered that kit from jets already. Thanks for the offer though.

Not sure if you are running vacuum booster power brakes, but I had an impossible time checking my oil levels with the hard dipstick that comes with that kit because the booster was in the way. You may want to consider this: http://www.jegs.com/i/Lokar/625/ED-5005/10002/-1

That's why I went with the offset bracket for my hydroboost.

Thanks for the info. I have Manuel disc right now, but someday I'll upgrade.
