Bill from SE WA Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 When I started working on my 52 dodge, it had a Plymouth 230 in it that was from a passenger car. It had the rear sump oil pan. I didn't give it much thought and when I got my 251, it had a rear sump pan as well. The more I looked at trying to fit everything together, I started seeing the rear sump pan doesn't really work and it's not supposed to be that way on this truck. I finally realized I need a front sump 25 inch oil pan and the correct oil pump pickup. I have looked around and about the only source I can think of is a pilot house Fargo pickup. I don't know what else would be out there that would have this oil pan setup. I need help locating these parts, If anyone has a pan and oil pump pickup for a 25 inch motor or knows where I can get one I would be very grateful. Thanks Quote
