I've seen '35 and '36 Fords that can have a problem with pan clearance IF the car still has it's original steering box. If it has been modified to use a '37 and later steering box, the Pitman arm sits lower in relation to the engine/pan, and the drag links seem to have no clearance issues. The last picture with the orange pan is Heard's '36 3-window with LATE steering box, AND a dropped axle. DD

Thanks for the great information! The car IS a '33 although not mine, I'm building the engine. Are you saying that there should NOT be
clearance problems in a '33 with either the Merc or truck pan because the drag link goes to the left front spindle outside the frame?
