My motor swap

While you are buying gaskets, see if they have a book there on "How to Rebuild a Small Block Ford". If not there, I'd sure try and find one. Better than Haynes or Chilton. Lots of info you're going to need and things to watch out for.

It is the same pump but you need the fox body pan and pickup. I have a pan for an 79 mustang that has the dipstick in the side of it. Let me know if you need it.

[83bagged]

yea i got the pan already. i just need the pickup from the fox body?

any my pan has some kind of screw in place in the side for something? did you just plug yours?

 

[frank91lx]

That is a low oil sensor. Yes you can just plug it. Your dipstick in the timing cover is not going to work with a rear sump oil pan.

i have a dual sump pan.

Can't say about your driveshaft until you have your motor in.

Depending on what tranny you use your shifter should work.
