Summit Racing helped me find a stock oil pan used on a '90 Bronco 5.0 (and other applications) with a rear sump. It is not a double hump like the Fox body 5.0 cars used. Is this the best choice for my application or are there other choices? Also, can anyone confirm for sure that a pan from a 5.0 will fit a 289 (with the correct pick up of course).

I know that early Bronco's ('66 - '67) had a rear sump pan on 289/302's, but those are either hard to find or very pricey. Thanks in advance for the help.

Looks like you are new - so welcome to CHR. One condition though, we like pictures of your project(s)

That pan will work just fine - tho most Mll cross members will give you room for a double hump pan if that's what you have.

This is a rear steer TCI Mll chassis with a front sump 302 - I had lots of room for a double, tho I do not like their look:
