I`d like to start out by saying this is a really nice forum,and that If my question has been asked I haven't found it asked previously so sorry if it has.
Bought this 66 stang with a 200cid like 12 years ago and left it set till the other day. I bought a 302 and c4 rebuilt tranny to put in it the same time i bought the stang. Went to a salvage yard and found a 66 stang that had the 289 motor mounts a few years ago and bought them and the drive shaft/rear end.
3 days ago installed the motor mounts,today went to drop the motor in and the oil pan is hitting the steering arm that crosses from the steering box over to the idler arm,it also looks like the starter would hit it if the oil pan was not in the way.
The motor is out out of a 78 Lincoln, I searched oil pans and they all look the same.
Also the engine was fitted with serpentine pulleys,but is missing the water pump pulley.As far as I can tell the water pump does spin in reverse,the outlet low passengers side
Question, Is there a special oil pan needed? risers for the motor mounts? change the steering arms? input is much appreciated....thanks
Ckecked a 289 oil pan on line .the oil pan I have looks very much the same.
Is there a spacer or riser that goes between the motor and mounts?
