Hey guys i know that a 302 and 351 cleveland oil pans are different. But i wanted to know if the 351 oil pan will fit fine in my maverick or will i have to get a new one to go with my mav? or will i have to do some cutting or fabing? thanks alot.
as long as its a front sump pan, it should fit a maverick. if i remember the cleveland pans are a touch wider than the 302 and windsor pans, but since they all use the same engine mounts width shouldnt matter.
......And just in case anyone is wondering, the 351w and 302/289 pans are almost identical. The difference lies in the rear seal. The W pans are wider there. One could actually use a 302 pan on a 351w as long as he cut the larger rear part out of the W pan and sectioned it into the 302 pan. Lots of work, but if you were in a pinch or cheap like me, it'd work.
The 351c part fits fine. I used a Moroso deep sump in my swap and it fit exactly the same as the Moroso on my 302 did before the swap. You won't fit the oil filter on the block with a C swap though. You will have to use a remote filter or a swivel adapter. Dave
