Re: 56 f100
That rear sump pan is what did it. The SBC fit in just about everything as a bolt in. Ford's front sump on everything required chassis mods and other stuff to fit. Add to that the ever changing engine line....flat head - Y block - MEL - FE - Windsor - Cleveland and now the Mod motors. Easy to be the engine of choice when the basic structure didn't change for decades.
