1964 Ford Galaxie
Hello everyone, I have a 1998 Explorer 5.0 engine that I am converting to a carb, I have everything needed for the swap. I’m installing the engine in my 1964 Galaxie, I will be using the front factory pulleys and belts that came on the engine and using an electric fuel pump to simplify things. I have to use a front sump oil pan for the Galaxie and also a new oil pump pickup. Will I have any issues or problems with switching oil pans or is it an easy swap, any problems with the dipstick on where it should be or relocated. Your advice is very much appreciated. Thanks, Jim.

The 302 did not change much 1969-2001
You will have zero issues installing a different pan pickup and dipstick … they will
Bolt on

Hope this helps!
