52 Flathead in a 35 Ford-Oilpan?

Anyone know what oilpan I want to use on my 52 truck motor to clear the crossmember on a 35-40 Ford frame?

 

Thats what I have on there now. Motor is sitting on the mounts and the pan hits the back of the crossmember. Someone mentioned that if I used a different oilpan it would fit. I didnt really see how there could be a more shallow pan in the front than what I already have on there though. Skidmarks, where do ya live in Newark? I'm orig. from Bear. Thanks for the reply.

 

How about shimming up the front mounts till the pan clears? Might have to change rearend angle, though.

 

Take a look at this thread, I think it is covered pretty well.

i have an 8BA out of a 1950 pickup w/stock pan in my 41 ford coupe no clearence problems, does your pan look like this? i have seen this pan insalled in a 41 pu same frame as yours..

 

Truck pan and truck pumps should work. Attached is photo of 8BA in stock 40 Ford with truck pumps and 49-51 Merc oil pan. But truck will work also. Cross member is flat on top with no step down.

 

I've got a Merc pan on my 8BA in a 39 coupe, truck pumps.

 

I'd be more concerned about the steering tie rods and drag link.
You may have to either heat the arms to lower them or raise the engine a bit.
