1952-59 Ford 390 in a 53 Merc. and a 54 Merc.?

I absolutely hate this search engine !!! I have punched in 390, 390 swap, 390 in a 54 Ford..???? ...I know I have seen it somewhere. I went back 20 pages, nothing.. Now, I do know the frames are not the same. I am building a 53, but can get the 54 frame.. the question is, my 390 has front sump, and I need rear. is there an oil pan to fit.?? 1964-390 thanks all.

 

Seems like I recall the later trucks had a rear sump pan, but could be mistaken.

Four wheel drive pickup with a 360 or 390 had rear sump pans. Get the oil pickup tube that goes with the pan and the dipstick.

 

ok, thanks guys

 

If you are doing the 390 in a '53 frame contact by pm slim53, He did a 390 in a Shoebox swap you use the same mounts for the 52-53 Ford as the shoebox,you can get the mounts from Speedway.

 

thanks again Jeff. now I am for sure, using the 54 frame.. so I just need motor mount, part # ?? is that correct.? hope so, and what would that number be..? 390 in a 54

 

I believe you just use the Y-Block mounts to put the 390 in the '54 frame, I think you just turn them around or flip them from one side to the other.

 

anyone agree with Mark.??? bringing the frame home Sunday.. want to set motor in soon.. thanks agin

 

Yblocks mounts work when turned around/flipped. Lucky_1974 did this on his '56 convert.
