Title: Help with a 72 Pinto V8 Conversion
Post by: gofast2007 on January 08, 2007, 09:32:03 PM
I'm planning on doing a V8 (302 & T-5) Conversion to my 1972 Pinto Wagon. I have a 8.8 Rear End out of a 83 Mustang with Headman Headers and Engine Mount Kit. I'm wondering what if the Milodon Oil Pan (Front Sump #30925) will work and are there any tips any has about what I will have to do to get it in neatly. I really hate the radiator hanging so low.....Are the any alternatives?

Any help greatly appreciated,

Marc

Hello Marc,

Sounds like a good start to your project.
Sorry I can not help you with the V8 details, but post a photo when you get a chance.

How low is the Rad hanging? There are many Rad options that will reduce the hight of the Rad.
