    hey guys,i am about to put a 73 302 engine(out of a torino) in the mav,but i am stumped on the oil pan.should it be a front sump or rear sump?the one that came with the motor is a front sump.can't be orig.because i have a spot on the timing cover for a dipstick,and a spot on the driver side oil pan for a dipstick.will this pan work,or would it interfere with the linkage?or does anyone have a pan for sale?thanks in advance for any info,or leads on a pan.drive safe chuck.

    Front sump would make things alot easier. There can be interference issues with a rear sump pan.
