I'm putting a 347 stroker into my 66 Mustang.  I've installed the Heidt's Mustang II front suspension...and I don't know what size/type oil pan I can fit in there.  Since the engine mounts aren't in yet, I can't drop fit to see...plus I don't want to fit the engine without an oil pan protecting it.  I've seen this mod in many articles, but can't find what I need (the oil pan type).  I was thinking a rear sump 7 quart pan would fit, but don't want to drop $200-$300 without knowing for sure.  Anyone have any words of wisdom?  

Hey Guy

I can't give you anything on the oil pan. Howeve, I couldn't help thinking that you didn't memtion anything about a WINDAGE TRAY!

I suggest that you buy one for your application. It keeps the oil off the crankshaft giving you more hp. Maybe you knew that already, I was trying to be helpful.

Take care
GOD BLESS

I'd go find a used late model 302 pan (the double sump item).  Should be able to find a used one cheap, then test fit with that.  If that works, then you can just shop for a deeper sump item that's similar.  I would only tack in the mounts until you get that issue worked out.  Could be much expensive if you ahve to get a custom pan.  Lotsa people do this - might check with the Mustangs Plus guys and see what they use - probably a Canton offering.  

Have you tried calling Heidts for a recommendation? Gary Heidt has sold hundreds of these setups for classic Mustangs and I'm sure from 289 to 5.0 to 4.6 to big-block, he's got a pan size and brand to recommend.

Sometimes it's best to go straight to the horses mouth? No?
