[Tigers] Tiger Oil Pan

[Tony Somebody]

Joel- listen to others BUT I'm certain it will bolt up- I would just have the
shop change the hole for the pickup and use what I have invested- unless you
think U can break even on epay. Again let's see what others recommend but I'm
certain the pattern on the bottom of the block is the same as all SBF engines.
Your other choice is to buy a pick up tube for the boss 302 or cougar
eliminator you described- which I think is what I would do.
Cheers, TonytheTiger

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.
