If it's small-block based it will bolt right in.
You will need to use the right front sump oil pan and pickup. Fox-body use the double/rear sump pan and rear pickup. ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind."

Originally, yes. Doubt a factory system would work with a 393, would expect it to be carb-converted. If not, it's a simple job to swap intake, dist., and possibly timing cover/water pump (if reverse-rotation and no fuel pump mount) ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind."

Depends... is the engine 302 or 351W based? the pans are different I think. ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind." Randy 1979 T-Bird 2005 F-150 STX RCSB 4.6, 3.55 LSD How the Heck does a REGULAR CAB SHORTBED weigh over 5200 pounds? |

| 351w. Just wonder about motor My fear is even God can lie when it comes to cars. Machine shop wants 1000 1500 to put my 302 back together. To build up my 351 about the same. |

I realize you've decided not to do this, but for anyone else reading, the 302 oil pan will NOT work on a 351W.  Russ
