302 EB oil pans - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

When swapping in a 93 Mustang 302 in to a Early Bronco, can you use the Mustang oil pan or should you switch to the 289 oil pan that was already on the Bronco?

Well I am not too familiar with them first hand but I do know that a friend of mine Chris used the stock dual sump pan off of a 93 T-bird on his conversion and I "think" that John did the same with his Mustang motor but you could ask @ the www.broncofix.com board because they both frequent it.

Yes they will work fine the only real draw back is they have two drain plugs and the front one is real hard to get to and makes a mess when pulled. But you can do it and the front sump holds very little fluid . My bud didn't even know it was their untill he was under my 91 stang and asked what the F is this other plug for? And I told him the same as the one in your EB, He was shocked he never saw it, and he is good about tune up stuff. So long story short it works but you can swap it for another pan and oil pick-up tube.
