I used a stock front sump oil pan from a '76 T-bird for installing a 460 in my '79 Ranchero(basically same frame, from rear axle forward, as a Torino). The T-bird 460 pan has a depth of 8 5/8" and gives about 3/4" clearance between oil pan and engine crossmember. Todd

   I was more interested in an aftermarket pan from Millodin, moroso, or summit.  Most of them are for mustangs and I dont know if they will work on a 73 gran torino.

I use the Milodon pan. They make a windage tray too.

  Thanks Mark.  I wanted to make sure that a Milodon or canton would work, so I guesse the answer is yes. Do you recomend a windage tray or are there pans with built in baffles or anything ?

I have a canton with the baffle in stock size. I figured 'while I was here'......

Steve, it needs to be a front sump pan for a similar year Mustang, a rear or double sump pan for a late model Fox body won't fit
 
and you'll need some studded bolts or main studs with smaller tray mount studs for the windage tray to mount

  Great I want the Canton #15- 750 so I wont need a windage tray. Remember I dont plann on long rides at all. So Mark, is this a decent pan ?

Oh ya. Canton is high quality.
I just use the Milodon because it's easy & fast to get.

 One piece at a time! Its $290 for the pan &  $110 for the windage tray and ARP studs.  And $45 for the pick up tube.  Is that too expensive ?  I have an new old stock M-84 HV pump with chamfering and mild porting to all the recomended iol passages on the crank and block.  I dont want to cut corners,, but dont need to go overboard either. I have alot of patience.

  My next purchase before the pan will be my cam set  280 duration, lifters, and gears-LUNATI and a good MSD set with adjstbl rev limiter.  Then the pan and after that aspeed demon 850 or 830cfm carb.  I hope Im on the rite track !
