Oil Pumps

I have a 302 that I am putting in my 68 Bronco. I could not use the stock oil pan due to the block not having a hole for the dip stick on the side of the block. So I order an oil pan with the dipstick that screws into the pan. Now the dilemma, the pick up screen does not line up for the support main cap bolt. Granted it is I believe for a 351W. Oil pan seems to fit no issue there, so does the 351W oil pump screen mounting bolts angle more or are the oil pumps all the same 302 vs 351W?
If there is an issue I am unaware of then which 302 oil pan has a dip stick opening? What year vehicle double hump oil pan?

Sorry no help on the pick up tube issue. Maybe get a fast answer here? https://classicbroncos.com/forums/index.php
I have a 71 w/302 and got a pan for a 71 w/302. Sorry no link for a pan source/double hump style either, I got mine in a parts trade. It has the slip in dipstick outer tube in the passenger side of the oil pan.

If and when you locate a pan and before you get the pan installed, read this article below and do some mod work to the dipstick mount area. Like replace the dipstick mount plate rivets with nuts/bolts, or do the mod they do. https://classicbroncos.com/tech/thre...-dipstick-tube

I found the article AFTER I got my new pan on.....but RTVing the tube itself is working with NO leaks.
