Greetings Ford Six Fans,
I'm considering installation of a front end suspension kit on my Ranchero. Looking at both strut and Mustang II types, but learning towards Mustang II type to completely eliminate the shock towers.
All of these kits require some type of crossmember towards the front of the engine bay, which won't work with my 250's current front sump oil pan. Was there ever an application for a rear sump 250 oil pan?
If not, I'd be looking at having a custom oil pan made, or give up on the front suspension kits that use a crossmember. Of course, there are still many suspension upgrades that I could so, but they wouldn't eliminate the shock towers, which I would very much like to do.
Thanks
