Here is my new E350 oil pan. This is a bolt in "low profile" oil pan. So it won't stick down as much as that ridiculous f350 pan.[ATTACH=full]45667[/ATTACH]This should hopefully clear the K member.  Currently I am messing with the motor mounts. [ATTACH=full]45668[/ATTACH]So I switch the motor mounts side to side and ground a little off of the single tab. This moved the engine forward considerably. But not to the stock mustang position.[ATTACH=full]45669[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]45670[/ATTACH]What I will do is mock bolt up the oil pan, zip the motor mount bolts in. Loosely bolt the K up and check the clearance between the tubular K and the oil pan.  I will also be making a relocation bracket for the passenger side to bring the motor mounts rearward to use the second set of bosses. Passenger side doesn't not have that extra upper boss so I will relocate it further back with some 1/4" steel stock.  I wonder if the E350 pan will be too far forward and hit the K member though. We will see. This could take quite a bit of testing.I went and looked at the heads and dug through my collection of modular parts. I have located some freeze plugs for the heads. I need to make a driving tool and see if I can drive them in to whatever thr "set depth" is.  Does anyone know if these need sealant on them?[ATTACH=full]45671[/ATTACH]Test fit the coolant/oil filter relocation.[ATTACH=full]45672[/ATTACH]As well as the water pump[ATTACH=full]45673[/ATTACH]Anyone have any idea where to get these oil galley plugs for the block? I think i have 1 in my bag? I think?.. at least it looks like the right one.  [ATTACH=full]45674[/ATTACH]Here is the E350 oil pan with a 4v high volume oil pump pickup.  This will need to be customized. So I ordered a second high volume oil pump for the tube and I ordered an E350 oil pickup tube.  This way I have a representation of what to make or have made.[ATTACH=full]45676[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
