    Why not just put it in the side of the oil pan where the late model 351w's have them? I did that on a 5.0 I rebuilt when I went from a early blco to a later block. Some of the 5.0 blocks have a whole in the side of the block above the oil pan if I remember right. I cut out the area around the 351w oil pan and welded that into the 5.0 oil pan. Can't remember if it was a front or rear sump though. I know it was on a 90'd F150

    It's really more like a 3/4 sump. It's 3/4 the way back on the block, neither really front or rear.
