Default Re: 1948 Ford V8 oil pan fit on a 1953?

The early pan will not fit the latter block. There's more to it than the lower bell housing tack welded on. The rear main bearing caps and rear main bearing seal area between the early and late flathead blocks are completely different this means each oil pan has a substantively different rear seal area.
