Re: Flathead Oil Pan
Now that it's identified how much oil does it take?

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
All oil pans will fit all engines (8BA). It's the chassis it goes in that determines what it's configuration is.

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
Here's the LATE '51 WITHOUT the bracket. And BELOW is the inside of Gary's (Krylon32) pan with funny dipstick. DD |

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
Both '50 and '51 Merc's have windage trays. Not '49 only.

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
As stated 5qts. is normal but YOU can do some home work to determine if that works with the oil pan/dipstick combination that you have.
This can be done with water before any restoration work.

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
It's a 1953 F100 truck V8 flathead oil pan. One year only.

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
Yes, indeed, this picture of a '53 F100 and the location of the dipstick seem to verify that.

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
Me, I'd put the pan on the assembled engine, mount the engine in the chassis (with full weight), put 5 quarts of oil in it. Then you can see where the level is on the dipstick and mark the dipstick with a blunt chisel.
Now you know exactly where the oil level should be - in your car, at whatever angle it happens to end up in. |

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
I thought all truck pans had the big cleanout plate on the bottom?

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
I'm not questioning you guys but the sump on this pan is massive. But if it's from a truck could it possibly hold more than 5 quarts?

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
The '53 truck flathead engines had some unique parts, like the straddle-mounted bell housing, central front engine mount, '49 car-style wide belt water pumps and the full sump oil pan discussed above and correctly identified by '42merc.

Re: Flathead Oil Pan
My 53 Merc. EAC has no windage tray but a baffle around the oil pump. That is the part of the pan that is bumped out. Wow there is a lot of different pan configurations out there. Good luck Kube .
