Product Details

Features

Description

Ford's small block Windsor V8 in 255, 260, 289, and 302 cubic-inch displacements uses a front-sump oiling layout in passenger car applications. This polished aluminum pan is built for that configuration, featuring cooling fins that help dissipate heat while adding a show-quality look to the engine bay.

It fits most front-sump small block Ford 260-302 passenger cars produced up through 1995, including Mustang (1979-1995), Torino, Granada, Fairmont, LTD, Cougar, Monarch, and Zephyr.

The pan holds 4 quarts and uses a wet-sump design with the sump located at the front, matching the factory layout for these applications. 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 will not fit the Mustang II or any truck or van application, which use different chassis clearance and pan configurations than the passenger car platforms listed above.

Constructed from aluminum with a polished finish, the pan adds a show-quality appearance to Windsor small block engine bays while the fins help manage heat.
