BOHO Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) All of this came from this thread.......................................................................... I dont really remember where the stock holes were.I only cut the ''L''shape because it was easier to install with the mounts on and i could slide the engine back as far as possible.With my first swap,i just drilled holes where i wanted the engine to sit.http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/timtsi/newpics033-1.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/timtsi/newpics031.jpg I just slotted the quest stands in an ''L'' shape to sit the engine down then slide back.with these mounts i had no trouble with the front sump oil pan clearing everything.theres a good inch and half between the oil pan and engine cradle.you will have to use fords small starter instead of the big one.steering linkage is no problem.I just hope the metal holds up at the mount.i put a huge washer on the back I cut notches in the stands on the engine cradle and set the stock ford mounts right in.http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/timtsi/ImportedPhotos00032.jpg Edited May 26, 2012 by BOHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logikfive Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Tim; the front sump pan you used, does it have an oil dipstick provision? I've been trying to find one with no luck. If you didn't need use one with a provision, what did you do with the stock dipstick? This is the one I was looking at on Summit, but I found the same damn thing on eBay for half the price.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mrg-9780p/overview/ I've read the thread many times and have not seen any specifics on this, so hopefully I'm not asking a repeat question.

19cturbo Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 most the 5.0 dipstick goes into the block if memory serves me correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logikfive Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thats correct.. My 5.0 has the dipstick in the block, but I'm thinking it has to be moved for the front sump pan/pickup. I suppose it could have another hole in the block that the dipstick could use, but I never looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 On a front sump the dipstick goes in the timing cover on the passenger side.there should be a provision on the cover.i should have mentioned that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logikfive Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Exactly what I needed to know! Thanks Tim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logikfive Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Tim, I know you used stock engine mounts, but did you use a left and right side mount or did you use two lefts or two rights? I have both left and right sides, but I reversed them to put the stud further back. Drivers side seems okay, but the passenger side still seems a little too far forward. I do stil have to slide the whole thing back about 2" and that should make it acceptable, figured i'd ask for sure first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I just used left and right.nothing special.i think thats why i slotted them was to go down then back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
