Would someone on here that knows their oil pans please PM me their E-Mail address so I can send them some pictures of an 8BA oil pan I'm using but have no idea what it came off of. Also how much oil it holds. Thanks. Gary

So, no trust in the "community"? I understand.

It is easy to post a photo here. How else are we going to argue over what you have?

Gary.....I know that you DON'T do pictures here on the 'Barn (It's so simple. I'd be happy to send you a VERY concise "step-by-step").

If you would like to e-mail those pics to me, I'll be happy to post 'em here so a 'wider' audience can take a look, if you like. If you want the picture "tutoring", PM me. I've converted three or four previous "NO PICTURE" guys here in the past. Dick D

Here are the pictures of the 8BA-type pan that Gary ("Krylon32") would like info on. DD

There is just a button. Looks like a paperclip. Picture of it attached - hope it helps.

Krylon32 · 05-13-2021, 06:21 PM

V8 Coopman. Thanks for the help. Explain why when someone posts pictures on the Barn nothing shows up and I have no way of seeing them?

51504bat · 05-13-2021, 06:31 PM

Merc?

51 MERC-CT · 05-13-2021, 06:35 PM

Pan looks like in the 8BA family with an unfamiliar (to me) location and angle for the dipstick.

flatjack9 · 05-13-2021, 07:33 PM

That's not an 8BA pan. All 8BA pans had a center sump. I believe it's a 52 - 53 Merc.

Really???

Grease348 · 05-13-2021, 07:50 PM

I don’t know what year it is but the Merc pan I have has a rear sump, windage tray and a bracket that bolt to the starter plate...Steve

Have a '50 Merc. rear sump with the bracket and a '51 rear sump without the bracket.

Krylon32 · 05-13-2021, 08:11 PM

Is this a mystery pan? Are you guys saying it won't fit my 8BA block? It sure looks like it will.

No, it will fit your 8BA block, we are just not in agreement what it came off of.

I'm talking about the one with the windage tray. I believe that is '49 Merc only

V8COOPMAN · 05-13-2021, 09:00 PM

.

I believe it's gonna be a '53-ish Merc pan, like pic below!

'49 thru EARLY '51 Mercs like this. DD

Tim Ayers · 05-13-2021, 09:10 PM

Right on, DD.

To clarify, Gary you have a late Merc. pan and it will work on an 8BA block.

Question: How many Fordbarners does it take to change an oil pan?
