I had forgotten about the front sump on the Fords and have heard about useig a Bronco or van pan. I would have liked to look under the hood of my son's friends Gremlin to checkout the installation but the car was wrecked a few years ago and is long gone. Last I heard he got another Gremlin to put the drive train in but he went into the service and the car was sold.
