    Need a quick refresher course on 351 Windsor oil pans

    School me.   Rear sump pan isnt going to work for what I need.   Are there any differences in years on 351 oil pans when it hits that magic year of 82?   

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    F150 mid 90 had mid sump.

    So there is no difference in the pans. Just the gasket changed?  I can put . On a front sump pan with the proper pickup tube off any years blocks?    The craigslist 351 on my garage floor has a rear sump, but it also has a small sump in the front,  and two drain plugs.  I do not know the year of the block atm, but it's carburated,  and has duraspark,  I'm thinking it's early 80s

    Sounds like a F-series or Bronco oil pan.  I had one years ago I sold to a guy for a late model Mustang swap.  I believe that pan fits the Fox and SN95 cars with the K-member style front end.  It won't work for a first gen car though.

    I believe you are correct, the main thing is to make sure (like you mentioned) use the proper pickup. I swapped the single sump pan in my Lightning over to a dual sump Mustang 351w Moroso pan with no issues. If you have the room get a Fumoto drain valve, I love mine!

    Here's a site with a lot of different pans to look at, maybe you can find what you need. http://www.silver-seal.com/category/shop.engine_parts.oil_pans.for_ford.v8_engine/
