![]() You can put it anywhere you'd like, as long as you don't leave any other locations open.
Take care, ~Chris

![]() actually, you cant use the one on the later block... it's for a rear sump pan... you need to block it and use the one in the timing cover..

![]() I just meant as long as it goes into the pan, that's all that matters, but you are right. I hadn't thought of it quite that way.

![]() The only thing to watch for is to use the correct dip stick tube and dipstick for the location you choose.

![]() um... if you put it in the side.. is the front sump far enough back for it to even go on the oil? the pan in back is pretty shallow.. hate to have the dipstick hit the pan and curve up into the crank..
when you get a dipstick, change the oil and filter... start it up... then let it sit for awhile the mark the full level yourself... easiest way to have it right ![]()

![]() In blocks currently supplied with front sump pans, the dipstick tube nipple is located in the side of the pan and the side block location is plugged. I conclude from this Ford engineers don't want you using the side block location with the front sump pan. In the case of the front sump pan, the locations of choice are the timing cover or side of pan locations.
