Thread: 390 FE in a 58 Olds

The stock rear sump truck pans and pickup are a junkyard item. If you have any PYP's in your area try there. If not both Canton and Milodon sell a rear sump FE pan and pickup. The Canton pan is #16-870 and the Milodon #30550. Pricey at $312 and $367 and you still need the matching pickup. Summit, Jegs, PAW etc.... will have better prices. These are off their sites which I find more expensive than the part houses. Canton sells a oil filter adapter as well as Dove and others. I always see these on ebay and there are a few different styles. Cheaper ones are a bolt on plate to the more expensive rotating type. I'll poke around and see what I can find. Been awhile since I've looked at them. Places that sell Cobra parts have them too. Let me see what I can dig up. I do have a new filter relocater kit from my old FFR Cobra kit. It's the same one Ford Motorsport sells (yet another source!). It might fit and work on the FE. But you'd need to still use a stock adapter. You can screw the base onto the adapter and it might work? Never gave it much thought. But I think so? If interested PM me and I'll check it out. Might be more hassle then it's worth tho. I'll see what else I can find. If you need a few good part vendors for FE specific both

are both very good vendors.

Which trucks had these pans? I need to know which ones to look for, as I am putting a 390 into my '97 2x pickup. I could use the engine mount perches as well. Thanks.
