Use my 8BA pan and split the wish bone.

I know there is a rear pick up pan that will will work on an 8BA block. Perhaps from a truck or?? I had one but don't remember what it was off of.

Do you know?

Thank you,

I would scratch the idea of trying to modify the '48-early pan to your 8BA. Pans are out there.

There are two:

'49-'51?? Mercury is a rear sump. Make sure you get the special oil pump pick up with the pan.
'48-'53 F1 pick up. This pan has a large clean out plate on the bottom of the sump.
