Swapping a 351C, 351M, or 400 block into a Fox-body Mustang or related Ford platform demands an oil pan that clears modern rotating assemblies and keeps oil where it belongs under hard cornering and acceleration. Moroso's rear-sump steel pan delivers 9 inches of depth, 8-quart capacity, and fitment engineered for the 1979-and-up Fox chassis without modification to the factory mounting points.
Clearance for stroker builds. The pan clears a 3.85-inch stroke with most steel rods, making it a practical choice for anyone building beyond the stock 351C displacement rather than just replacing a worn factory pan.
Integrated crank scraper. A built-in crank scraper strips oil from the rotating assembly before it can be churned into foam, maintaining consistent oil pressure and reducing parasitic drag through the rpm range.
Durable black powder coat finish. Moroso applies its own in-house powder coat, producing a finish that resists heat, oil, and underhood grime far longer than rattle-can alternatives.
Product Benefits
- 8-Quart Capacity: Adds oil volume over the factory pan, supporting longer drain intervals and better thermal management.
- 9-Inch Depth: Extra depth keeps the oil pickup submerged during hard acceleration and braking.
- Rear Sump Layout: Matches the factory sump location on Fox-platform Mustangs and related vehicles for a straightforward swap.
- Integrated Crank Scraper: Reduces oil aeration and parasitic drag without requiring a separate scraper kit.
- Stroker Clearance: Accommodates up to a 3.85-inch stroke with most steel connecting rods.
- Steel Construction: Resists impact damage and heat distortion in performance and street applications.
- Black Powder Coat: Applied by Moroso's own powder coating facility for consistent, long-lasting finish quality.
Note: Fits 1979-up Mustang and other Ford rear-sump applications. Compatible with Ford 351C, 351M, and 400 block. Does not fit Mustang II.
