Does anyone know if the bolt pattern on the oil pan is symetrical? I was thinking about switching mine to the front if I can make the pick up work.

Yes, they will flip rear sump to front sump. You will need to change the pickup and dip stick.

I did it and it works fine.:beer:

Did you replace the pickup with another or modify the existing pickup. I'm installing one in a 1973 Bronco and will need to modify the oil pan to provide clearance for the front differential.

Thanks,

jghflys,

Here is what I did with my 73 Bronco pan. It still uses the stock pickup.

This is the Oil Pan Mod I do on my engines to clear the front diff on Power Wagons/WC's and M37's. I do modify the pickup tube slightly to clear the pan mod. I dont have any pictures of the pickup
