First off, here's my situation. I'm putting a SBF in a 49' ford. My block is a 65 289 block, heads are late model 5.0. With my set-up I have to run a rear sump pan in order to clear the crossmember. I was told to use a fox body double hump pan. I got one that seems to work. Here's the problem. I bought a pick up tube the other day and put it on. After that the pan doesn't fit back on. The screen hangs down too low. Are there differences between the double hump pans. I think I just read that they were different from 81-90 and 91-94. I'm getting kind of pissed beacuse this is the third thing that has been wrong. I should have prepared myself better for having issues with different year parts.
Also, do later model blocks have the dipstick in the block? If that's the case then I need to add a dipstick provision on the pan beacuse my 65 289 block has the dipstick hole in the timing cover that only works with a front sump I think. Thanks
