I have what I believe is a 1952 V8 engine in my f1.
However the oil pan has a drain plug size of 1 1/2 inches which appears to be for a 1947-1948 pan from my research. Is it possible that the pan is from a 48 and put on a 1952 engine? I am rebuilding the engine which I believe last ran in 1969. I have no idea if there are differences in the pan itself or if just the drain plug size is different. |

During the life of most flatheads many, many parts get interchanged! Any part can end up on about any engine (if it will fit!). Maybe during a previous rebuild, or maybe the pan hit something and just the pan was changed, who knows.

Do you mean you use a 1-1/2" wrench on it? or the threads are 1-1/2"?
Does your pan have the large clean-out plate? Those should have a 7/8" plug.
