Here we go again. My 1965 289 HP oil pan was pretty beat up, so in the
1980's, I started to buy some parts I thought I might need some day. Well the
motor is at machine shop - Ron F got me over the timing chain cover issue
YESTERDAY - now on to the oil pan.
I bought a windage tray with the 6 bolts -
part number at home, oil pan DOZZ-6675-A. Well the machine shop indicates the
oil pump (New Melling with 68 LB stock spring-not high volumne pump) to pickup
screen via the pipe that connects the 2 parts will not line up to the hole in
the bottom of the pan where the screen sits. This pan has a welded in tray in
the bottom of the pan. So a little research indicates this pan fits a 69-71
boss 302 or 69-70 Cougar Eliminator. Deep sump and drain bolt on the side.
Does anyone know if this pan will fit the motor plus work in a 1966 MK1A?
Problems other than pipe, any issues with fitting pan/motor in car - am I back
in the tree again? Please be kind!
Thanks for all you information,
knowledge.
Joel Martin
