240 Oil Pan from Car Application

[expolice]

I'm looking for an oil pan from a 240 car application (65-? Custom or Galaxie). The aftermarket oil pans available appear to be for the truck applications and the center sump area is larger on the truck pan, resulting in interference between the oil pans and the crossmember located below the engine. The old picture I have of the original oil pan I removes (and apparently discarded) has the oil drain plug located on the left side of the motor. The aftermarket pan has the drain plug facing the rear of the center sump.




Thanks,

I'm following up on my post...
I was able to find the correct oil pan. There is a difference in the center section that I must have thought would have been OK when I install the new pan 10-12 years ago. Anyway, here are photos of the two different oil pans so you can see the difference in the center section.



That's all I know for now...

Pretty interesting to me.
The different ‘bump outs” for access (drain plug) around different x-members due to truck V car...
