Engine Swap Tips

The Ford 460ci big-block (as with most other Ford engines) requires a rear-sump oil pan in vintage trucks, particularly with IFS. Fatman's Kevin Weekly uses this template for a Canton pan in setting up 460ci engines in '53-56 Ford trucks. Other pans have more of a slope from front to rear and can interfere with the crossmember. The Canton pan is very squared-off and fits even better in the '48-52 Ford trucks. The '35-41 Ford truck requires a recessed firewall for practically any Ford engine. Bitchin' Products is one source for recessed firewalls. View Related Article
