5.0 HO oil pan on 351W

[CBASS]

Would a 5.0 HO oil pan bolt onto a 351W? If so, this would make it easier to swap into a first gen RX7.

I dunno if it'll fit, but from what I hear over on DFWStangs.net, they don't......

Anyway, the 5.0 HO pan is a double hump pan, and te front hump usually causes clearance issues with the front steering rack.... You might be best off looking for an oilpan from an old Econoline van... (*I think that's the way we're gonna go)

From what I understood, the 5.0 HO oil pan works well in a non GSL-SE first gen... I've read that the dual sump pan clears the crossmember perfectly, if you take the xmember out and flip it around.

the 302 pan is narrower than the 351w. the oil pans are like the intakes and dont interchange
