it’s easy to do if needed, but a front sump pan is required.  everything else works with either type.

Last I swapped in May also used a pickup off front sump.

Hmmm sure looked different to me.

This one is bypass I believe, nothing special. I’ll grab a picture of the left side when I get in the shop. Does anyone have the ‘56 and later 250/265    Truck Head casting number and where that number is located?

when i took my blown 237 apart, i compared the sump/pickup and tubing with the parts from the 251.  they were identical.  so i used the parts from the 237 because they were original to the truck.  the pan came from the 237, because the rear sump position of the 251 pan wouldn't clear the axle.  the pan is not reversible.

Maybe an odd circumstance. 

The 2 pickups 1 front type and 1 rear type were different lengths on 1 particular engine.

The other tubing identical.

If the pickup tube is turned in as it should it will be setup for either front sump or rear sump.

I suppose reversing the direction might just work.

Not that this is a huge deal to me.

I gotta a 265 on floor now with rear sump, when I have time will be pulling pan to inspect bottom end. Will compare pickup tubes at that time.
