Oil pan

Hey ya'll I can't remember, does a 302 in a mav require a front or rear sump oil pan? Thanks, Preston

 

Mavericks need a front sump oil pan.

 

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. I really appreciate it! Preston

 

My 5.0 is to be used as a drag car. The pump pickup is located at the rear. This way, under a long duration of acceleration, the oil pump will be sure to pick up oil as the g force will cause the oil to go to the rear.

my 02.

 

Its a double edged sword. A buddy of mne has a slowmaro, he has a rear sump, when he gets to the end of the track and lets off the gas, the car nose dives and he looses oil pressure.

 

Doesn't the rear sump pan hit the steering?

 

yes the factory ford rear sump or double-hump pans will hit the center link on a factory suspension/steering setup. The front sump pans are the only ones that will fit a factory chassis.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the advice and info. ya'll! I appreciate it. Preston

 

Agreed:

I had a 7 quart oil pan custom made to fit.
