Cheapest...A junk yard. I can get one for $15.00....If I can nab it before someone else does. Almost had my chance a few months ago but someone beat me to it by a day!

The most credible and available place to get it? MustangII.net, but good luck finding someone who will let go of it. Probably won't be very cheap either.

These Stang II pans are worth their weight in gold when it comes to hot rodding a Pinto or restoring a Mustang II, no joke about it.

Don't forget to get the oil pump pickup tube if/when you get the pan. I have heard they are a matched set (please correct me if I am wrong).

One of them work for you ?

Mine is a one off special build just for this car. Note the notch so the engine sits as low as it can over the rack.

All those look to be rear sump fox pans reeves and as far as i know no one makes a Mustang II pan unless you can special order it.

I do not believe that will work in a Pinto. It looks like a standard Ford oil pan.

WTR 70 · « **Reply #35 on:** September 16, 2011, 05:15:32 PM »

almost thinking getting a normal pan and modifying it to work would be easier

Pinto5.0 · « **Reply #36 on:** September 16, 2011, 05:16:47 PM »

That pan wont fit. Not even close.

Pinto5.0 · « **Reply #37 on:** September 16, 2011, 05:22:17 PM »

Making a pan of your own that wont leak is the tricky part. I can fab a pan that fits myself but trying to make it leakproof would test my patience something fierce.

WTR 70 · « **Reply #38 on:** September 16, 2011, 05:26:15 PM »

do you know how close the pan can be to the crank?

WTR 70 · « **Reply #39 on:** September 16, 2011, 05:27:46 PM »

or how far the pickup has to be from the pan

Pinto5.0 · « **Reply #40 on:** September 16, 2011, 05:46:19 PM »

Most windage trays only clear the rod bolts by 1/4" but you would probably want 1/2" clearance at least if you aren't running a windage tray so the crank doesn't pick up oil from the pan. The pickup clearance should be 1/8" to 1/4"

thats what i was kinda quessing but i dont want to guess wrong, seems a good way to get good at changing motors haha

I have a v8 motor out of a 79 mustang ll( minus heads and intake ) so I would have a pan & pickup. was going to use on my project but went dry sump instead. Bud

do they make a header that will fit inside without cutting anything?

Pinto5.0 · « **Reply #50 on:** September 16, 2011, 08:24:52 PM »

The old Heddmann Tarantula hedders that come forward but they aren't cheap & I havn't seen a set for sale in a year.

"They" used to ! LOL !
Picture is from the early 70s & the first V8 swap I did.
It was a kit from Holman (Herbert ?) & Moody. Came with motor mounts, headers & I think a couple other things ?

WTR 70 · « **Reply #52 on:** September 16, 2011, 08:32:01 PM »

all i can say is wow.

WTR 70 · « **Reply #53 on:** September 16, 2011, 08:57:53 PM »

definitely interesting setup for headers right there

WTR 70 · « **Reply #54 on:** September 17, 2011, 12:26:17 PM »

so has anybody used the front engine plate?

289pinto · « **Reply #55 on:** September 19, 2011, 11:36:46 AM »

I used a early mustang pan and just notched the front of of it, the piece I cut out I just flipped over and welded back in. I wouldn't want to drive around without a sway bar myself.

WTR 70 · « **Reply #56 on:** September 19, 2011, 12:46:58 PM »

i see your text thing says 289, does your wagon have a v8? and do you have the sway bar in it still?

289pinto · « **Reply #57 on:** September 19, 2011, 06:28:39 PM »

Yes my car is a v8. actually a 302 now and yes it has the sway bar in it. thats why i had to notch the pan. I'll try to take a pic of it.

289pinto · « **Reply #58 on:** September 19, 2011, 06:55:11 PM »

Here are a couple pics of my notched oil pan:
