Ah thats right!!! The original pan is mustang specific with the oil pick up tube. Both tube and pan work together. I forgot about that. Although i believe any pan and any pick up can be used but i dont think any pick up can be used with the original pan. I only speculate this because i run a 5.4l but Be sure to test fit for interferences. The non mustang pick up tubes bottom out on the mustang pan.
