Which oil pan will work?

mustang928 · 08-02-2001, 03:27 PM

I just installed a FMS HV oil pump on my 91 mustang, but now the oil pan will not fit..Does anyone know a cheap fix to my problem.. I tried hitting it with a hammer but it just made it worse, now it really doesn't fit.

I had the same problem and was very confused, My original 88 pan fit pefectly. I wound up buying a new pan because of rust and dents and the new pan wouldn't fit! I wound up buying the moroso 7qt pan, fits perfectly over the k memeber, but you have to sacrifice not being able to bolt the dust sheild to the bell housing.

or instead of spending $150+ on an after market 7qt pan, go to the scrap yard, and get another pan, cut the sump area off and weld it to the bottom of your pan (after cutting the bottom off the sump area, obviously),,, costs about $25.00, with the same effect....

you really don't want to bend the pick-up, it may create oil flow prob's////
