Product Details
Features
- Front-sump steel pan fits Ford 351C, 351M, and 400 V8 engines
- Matches factory RWD oiling layout for 1970-1982 applications
- Built for RWD only — not for 4WD or 351W applications
- Gold zinc steel 4-qt. pan adds classic styling to 335-series builds
Description
Ford's 335-series V8 — sold as the 351 Cleveland (351C), 351 Modified (351M), and 400 — uses a front-sump oiling layout that's different from the Windsor-series 351W. This gold zinc steel pan is built specifically for the 335-series engine in rear-wheel-drive applications, including trucks, from 1970 through 1982.
The pan holds 4 quarts and uses a wet-sump design with the sump located at the front, matching the factory 335-series layout. It has a 1/2"-20 drain plug thread with the drain plug included. This pan does not include internal baffling, a windage tray, gasket, or oil pickup, and does not have a dipstick provision — these will need to be sourced or accounted for separately as needed for your build.
This pan is not designed for 4-wheel-drive applications or for the 351 Windsor (351W) engine, which uses a different oiling configuration entirely.
Constructed from steel with a gold zinc finish, the pan adds a polished, show-quality appearance to 351C, 351M, and 400-powered engine bays.
Applications
Fits Ford 335-series V8 engines: 351 Cleveland (351C), 351 Modified (351M), and 400. RWD applications only, including trucks, from 1970 through 1982. Not compatible with 4WD applications or the 351 Windsor (351W).
Installation
Drain plug is included with a 1/2"-20 thread size. This pan does not include internal baffling, a windage tray, gasket, or oil pickup — these must be sourced separately. No dipstick provision is included.
