32 V8 oil pan parts

[SUHRsc]

I'm not really sure what I have or am missing here. I have what appears to be a freshly rebuild engine that was sitting on a later steel pan. This aluminum pan was with it. The short tray is attached and the painted one was loose elsewhere ... I don't have the original oil pump in the engine but may have one. Are the 32 pumps good or should I use a later pump somehow and adapt a tube to match the aluminum pan?

Also there appears to be 2 circular marks on the bottom, is this correct to see that or are they likely repairs?

Thanks for any input.
Zach

The oil pan tray is the later '32 version used with a pickup tube integral with the pump and a sump cast into the pan, such as in your case. Are the pumps any good? Billions of miles in a million vehicles using the same design ('32-'35).

[thank you!
Do these parts go in together? Or just the black painted one on its own?
The side drawing in your book appears as though there may be. 3rd at the back?

Thanks
Zach

Yes and no as what you have is approximately one and a half sheet metal pans, one third of the front and two-thirds of the rear. They need to be measured, trimmed at the back of the front section as required and the two sections welded together.

Thank you!

No wonder I was confused!

Hey Zach, something to note . . . some of these early cast aluminum pans will "weep" oil through the casting (maybe a reason Ford went to steel shortly afterwards???). It isn't a bad idea to really clean the inside of the pan and then coat it with something like red Glyptal paint - to "seal" it.

Good idea! After my first experience with the weeping of oil, all of my aluminum oil pans have been coated with Glyptal.

X2. I was lucky enough to acquire a nice 32 Aluminum pan along with some other parts that was already cleaned and painted with Glyptol but was never re-installed. My pan on my car is coming off very soon for replacement with this pan!!!!

 

[SUHRsc]

Thank you! I will surely do that!

Sheldon,


One of but a small handful of errors in their book. The steel oil pan was not released for production use until mid-October. The pan referred to in the DeAngelis/Francis book with provision for the dipstick was aluminum and there was at least one more noticeable change in the aluminum pans before the release of the steel pans.
