oil pan interchangability
I'm not having any luck locating an oil pan for my truck.
(1994 F150 302 engine)
Napa is telling me they don't have them, and can't get them (even though I show a Balkamp pan on napaonline.com)
I don't have an Autozone in town.
Oreilly doesn't have them.
My local place, Jocko's doesn't have them.
Here's my question: Can I just use a common 302 pan with a rear sump??
I mean that's all it looks like to me, but it does ahve a protrusion on the lower part of the pan (possibly for oil pump clearance or something?)
The dealer has pans of course, for 140 dollars. And I don't want to throw another turd quality pan on there if possible.
So, what am I up against here?
Thanks,
Luke

oil pan interchangability
I can't find anything on the Motorhaven page.
It's very hard to navigate, and I didn't see any engine parts for sale there.
My truck's pan doesn't have any sort of front sump from what I can tell.
(which will make it easier to remove)
The one pictured at the brono site has a small sump up there, so even if it'd bolt up to the block, I imagine it would make it a lot harder to get the pan in there if it has the mini sump.
I'm trying to find any cross references though, so I don't spend 100 dollars on a cheaply made oil pan.
You can get a chrome pan for a small block chevy for 19 dollars.
There has to be a cheaper pan out there somewhere...
