I have a 68 302 and want to change the oil pan from a front sump to a rear sump, a spectra oil pan #FP01A looks to be the one I need but shows no provision for the dip stick. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

You will have to use a dip stick going through the side of the block, found in the later models. Other than that, you may have to find or modify a pan to accept a dip stick through the side.

 

thanks, looks like a pan from a 81 E-100 will work, it has a provision for a dip stick on the side.

 

That looks to be the FP01B.

thanks for your reply, i ordered one (FP01B) form Amazon and recieved it last Friday.....nice well made pan, now i need to find a dip stick that will screw into the side.

 

Not the cheapest, but an option...

thanks Archion, i'll check it out..... checking around the web and found FORD pt. # E3ZE-6750-CA should work, i'll check w/local dealer and see if they still carry them.
