I have picked up a 351W - rebuilt - that came out of a 1990 Bronco.1) Will I have to change the Oil pan to put it in my '69 Mach I w/factory power steering? 2) What engine stand can I get so the stand plate matches up to the block? I picked up a ProLift 750 from Advance Auto Parts but am having trouble getting 4 bolts to match the bell housing threads. 3) It does NOT seem to have the damper/timing wheel secured with a large bolt into the crank. What's with that? The stamping in the lifter gallery says 351WP. ------------------

1) you'll need an oil pan that has the sump (the fat part) in the front. I'm not sure what the 1990 Bronco uses, but I would bet its either a double hump or rear sump pan.2)most engine stands are somewhat universal, and you should just have to loosen the arms and move them to where you need them. I haven't had any problems fitting one to a small block Ford (289-302-351) but I did have some problems with a 390/428 fitment. 3) You definately need to have that large bolt there. You should be able to use your old one, or scrounge an old one from one of the guys here, or at the least you can buy a new one from most mustang parts vendors. Scott

It's got a double sump - small front, larger rear. On the engine stand I loosened the arms, twisted the plate round and round to try and line it up, but the most I get hooked up is three bolts. Just concerned that is nout eough to hold it. I'll check on the bolt. As you say, I can always use the one off my original engine. Thanks for the input Scott. Jim

You will definitely have to swap out that oil pan. Not sure on the stand you have! It has a plate that you rotate and not 4 adjustable arms?

Indeed the stand has 4 adjustable arms. They just don't make the spread. I have tried rotating the plate 90 degrees and 180 degrees to see if I can get a reasonable spread to line up.I have not used an engine stand before - should the stand be bolted to the heads or just the block - i.e. bellhousing/tranny bolt holes? It is a 750lb stand. I'm going to take it back and get the 1,000 lb version.
