ISPKI Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hiya folks, I have been test fitting the 302 engine into my 77 280z. Following Brian Layne's instructions and designs with slight modifications for my particular engine and I have run into a slight snag. My motor is out of a 2001 mercury mountaineer. I need to lower the engine another inch on the motor mounts but I am bottomed out on the oil pan. I checked the oil pan that Brian has on his parts list which is marked as a Dual Sump pan, however it is not a dual sump pan when I look it up using the summit part#. Just wanted to know, is a dual sump oil pan shorter in that middle valley? The pan on my motor looks identical to the pan he put on his so I think mine may be a dual sump already. If I cant raise the oil pan depth by at least 1 more inch, then I will need to modify my engine cradle to lower the center section down.
