I took off work on Friday to do some work on the car. Since my semester ended at school, I wanted to catch up on some of the
winter spring projects that I haven't gotten to yet. First order was installing the
Cobra T Oil Pan I picked up from Tony D. Branda from my hometown of Altoona, PA. I also picked up a new
FelPro one-piece oil pan gasket that everyone raves about. The pins that come with the gasket hold the gasket and the pan on the engine so you can bolt it in.

New 7.5q Oil Pan (stock image) |
I followed the instructions from this
Mustang Monthly article which made it look easy, but I had a hard time with this one. The old oil pan was a deep from sump pan and I had to remove the brace, loosen the pitman arm, and remove the starter to get the old pan out. Since the old pan was a deep sump, I needed to get a new
Melling oil pickup from O'Reilly's to fit the new oil pan.
